Behind the Scenes with Kristin Donnelly of Everything Cookbooks

By: Erin Byers Murray

The podcast Everything Cookbooks started as a conversation between friends and colleagues—cookbook authors Molly Stevens, Kristin Donnelly, Andrea Nguyen, and Kate Leahy, who are divided between the East and West coasts, started having video chats regularly (pre-Covid) to talk about projects, contracts, and deal news—and to connect. In 2022, they decided to start recording the calls to turn it into a resource for others. What started as a 12-episode experiment is now on its eighth season and 150 episodes strong and the team has found an avid audience, made up of cookbook writers, editors, designers, and publishers, as well as home cooks and fans.
