 You know those unforgettable meatballs you invented once when you ran out of tomatoes and substituted pineapple, coconut and brown sugar? Or your mother's jambalaya recipe that uses a pinch of Old Bay seasoning from her native Baltimore that everyone always raves about? If you've ever dreamed of immortalizing your culinary creations in cookbook form, there's a class next Tuesday night at the Southern Food and Beverage Museum for you. The course, entitled Cookbook Publishing 101, offers an A to Z breakdown of how to become a cookbook author. It is hosted by two women with extensive cookbook experience: Lisa Ekus-Saffer, a literary agent behind such titles as The Splendid Table, The Cake Bible and The Union Square Café Cookbook, and Virginia Willis, a chef, food writer, and author of Bon Appétit, Y’all, Recipes and Stories of Three Generations of Southern Cooking. Attendees will learn about all aspects of the cookbook publishing process, from finding and working with a literary agent to identifying a unique angle to creating a strong proposal. The cost of the course is $199 and runs from 6 to 9 pm on July 20th at 1 Poydras Street. You can register here.
