Cookbook EDiting - FEEDBACK and Line Edits

With over 10 years of experience as a professional baker, recipe developer for international food companies and entrepreneurs, and widely published food writer, I help story-driven chefs, home cooks, and hobbyists alike build their cookbooks to reflect the heart of their dishes. I’ll provide constructive feedback and line edits to best tell the stories behind your favorite recipes.

Recipes and Preparation Instructions

A good recipe requires two main ingredients: flavor and flow. When writing your cookbook, you want your reader to be able to follow recipe instructions seamlessly. I’ll take a look at your recipes, ingredient descriptions, and preparation methods to ensure everything comes together smoothly.

Working Together

I offer flexible 1:1 coaching and editorial services to fit your needs, wherever you are in your cookbook writing process. While I love everything cookbooks, I mostly specialize in:

  • Proof-reading and polishing your recipes

  • Food storytelling edits (this can include anything from the introduction, effective and memorable stories to describe your recipes, food history tid-bits, and beyond)

  • Constructive coaching for building the theme, narrative flow, and design of your cookbook

Let’s Get Started

As a creative entrepreneur, I know well that we are not meant to embark on our creative endeavors alone. At the same time, I’m well aware that investing in professional editing and coaching is an important choice. Send me an email for details and to get started.

  • Cookbook editing - You have a draft, a good portion of your cookbook, or a hand-full of recipes ready for review and you’d like feedback and line edits. I offer per-project basis editing services that depend on the complexity and scope of your needs and cookbook. Schedule a free 20-minute consultation call with me, and following the call I’ll provide you with a comprehensive quote and project proposal.

  • 1:1 coaching session - Have questions about how to structure or theme your cookbook? Looking for guidance on getting started writing or editing your recipes and stories? This is a great choice.

  • Pack of 3 coaching sessions - Want consistent support on your cookbook project? This is the perfect option, and it includes light line edits/reviews between sessions (inquire more for details).
