A cookbook is no small feat. It requires extreme organization, developing loads of new recipe content in a fairly short period of time. Plus, on top of all of that you have to make sure you share your story (and the WHY) with the world. But guess what? You don’t need to do this project alone. That’s where I come in as a cookbook coach to help with project management and cookbook development in whichever way is best for you. 

especially when you're writing a cookbook.

Sometimes you need a second set of eyes.

I've worked on all stages of a book: the proposal, signing the publishing deal, outlining the book, developing or testing around one hundred recipes, the editing process, as well as the photoshoot. These skills have led me to work on cookbook projects from all different industries—celebrity chefs and celebrity clients, to health focused-nonprofits, athletes, and doctors. If you are looking to create a cookbook, I’m the gal for you.

“It sounds like you’re the Cookbook Doctor, I’ve found the right person!”

"Her years of experience cooking, recipe testing and tasting shine through time and again.
