How To: WRITE A COOKBOOK (Part Two)

In the second installment of our four-part series on how to write a cookbook, we take on the question of platform, crucial to today's publishing success.

What is a platform? How do you get one? Why is it so important?

Join us, Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough, as we discuss the nature of platforms and why they're so crucial to modern publishing. Writing a cookbook is one thing. Selling it is another matter entirely. And you won't be a success without a platform.

Cooking with Bruce and Mark

Fantastic recipes, culinary science, a little judgment, hysterical banter, love and laughs--you know, life.

Join us, Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, for weekly episodes all about food, cooking, recipes, and maybe a little marital strife on air. After writing thirty-six cookbooks, we've got countless opinions and ideas on ingredients, recipes, the nature of the cookbook-writing business, and much more. If you've got a passion for food, we also hope to up your game once and a while and to make you laugh most of the time. Come along for the ride! There's plenty of room!
