What is the Anatomy of a Cookbook

What is the anatomy of a cookbook?? I thought I knew until I started writing one. Ever since I can remember I have had a deep love of books. I would spend hours reading holed up in my room, and that love grew with me over the years. When I got into the food world that love expanded to include cookbooks, and let me tell you it is an expensive habit to have. I have an extensive cookbook collection spanning back to a first edition of one of Josefina Velazquez de León Mexican cookbooks from 1946. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I have always dreamed or imagined that I would write a cookbook, and now I am! I am writing a vegan Mexican cookbook with the publisher Hachette Go.
I am 8 months in the process of writing the book, and this whole time I’ve wished I had a sort of cookbook writing support group. A place where I could share all the things I’m learning, the travel experiences that have come out of this process, new and old cookbooks I love, and behind-the-scenes shots and recipes that don’t make it into the book. Well, this is it. If you are interested in writing, are thinking about writing a cookbook, love cookbooks, or are a long-time reader of Dora’s Table welcome.
I will also be sharing travel guides, vegan recipes that we make at home, and personal stories. I can’t wait!!
