Welcome to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast.

In this episode, I'm sharing something personal. There's a lot of conversation right now about AI. How to use it, how to move faster, how to generate more. And while I do use it in certain ways, I've found myself coming back to something very different that is not faster or more.

In this episode, I walk you through the rhythm I've developed to support how I think, write, and cook. These are simple practices I return to every day and every week, not as a system, but as a way of staying connected to my work. Over time, this rhythm has helped me think more clearly, make decisions more easily, and stay present in the process of writing.

If you've been feeling scattered, stuck, or disconnected from your cookbook project, this episode will give you a grounded place to return to.

• The daily practices that help me think clearly

• What supports creative thinking and decision-making

• The role of daily and weekly rhythms in staying creatively fueled

• What it looks like to build a rhythm that supports your work

In the end, writing a cookbook and running a business isn't just about the book or the business. It's about your life while you create while working on and in them.

In this episode, I'm joined by chef, author, and vintage curator Spring Council to talk about her beautiful new book Southern Roots. Spring spent over 50 years working in her family's restaurant, Mama Dip's Kitchen, where she learned firsthand how food creates connection, community, and lasting memories. In our conversation, we talk about how that experience shaped her cookbook — from the stories she tells to the recipes she creates — and what it really looks like to bring a book like this to life.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What "Mama Dip's University" taught her about food, people, and hospitality

• How Southern Roots blends storytelling with recipes

• Her path through writing, rejection, and finding her voice

• How she develops recipes that honor tradition while making them her own

• The role of community in both her restaurant life and her cookbook

If you love cookbooks that feel personal, meaningful, and grounded in real experience, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

Welcome to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast. Today I'm excited to have an interview with Hannah Dasher. Hannah is a country music artist, creator, and author of Stand By Your Pan.

Hannah built a loyal audience during quarantine by sharing nostalgic, personality-filled cooking videos—and has now turned that visibility into a cookbook rooted in Southern food, storytelling, and style.

In this conversation, we talk about how her online presence shaped her book, the recipes and traditions behind it, and the practical techniques that bring her cooking to life.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How Hannah's TikTok content grew into a cookbook

• Building a cooking brand through personality and nostalgia

• Recipes inspired by family, viral moments, and Southern traditions

• Stock your kitchen (bones, fats, and fresh ingredients)

• Practical cooking tips—from tomato pie to fried chicken livers to ham stock

• Why preserving recipes and food traditions still matters

If you've ever wondered how audience, voice, and recipes come together in a cookbook, this episode gives you a real example.
