A quick check-in & where we’re heading next 🍲
Hi everyone, As you’ve noticed, our space here has evolved into The Legacy Cookbook Academy — a place dedicated to turning family recipes, culinary memories, travel stories and personal heritage into beautifully crafted, lasting cookbooks. Because many of you joined during our earlier days as the Skool of Food Writing, I want to make sure this space is giving you maximum value moving forward. Could you please take 5 seconds to vote in the poll below? And please expand on your choice if you wish. (If none of these fit, drop a comment and tell me what you're working on!) - Option 1: I want step-by-step help organising family recipes, memories or kitchen stories into a book. - Option 2: I’m interested in the craft of writing. - Option 3: I want live workshops & events (e.g., the craft of writing, publishing options, interviews with interesting authors and/or chefs/cooks). - Option 4: Publishing for free on Amazon. - Option 5: How to write a cookbook on an entirely different topic (please mention which in the comments). - Option 6: I’m just quietly observing for now! @Barbi Wiest @Red Seh @Susan S @Roberto Srpak @Karim Amguir @Anne Iglesias @Jenny Rader-Bakos @Dave Hughes @Mary Lummerding @Aziza Weaver @Karin Crawford @Beverly Chen @Janine Greenleaf @Therese Fensham @Emile Joubert @Gayatri Kolhatkar @Deola Briers @Faith Njue @Alina Smith @Rich Gomez @Elizabeth Campbell @Oliver Wing @Don Paul @David Coffey @Peyton Ronquille @Lea Noreskal @Miyanna Walls @Dee Broughton @Christina Pretorius @Lance McWhorter @Isabeau Schoombee @Patty Panni @Steph Vermeulen @Claire Johnston @Ronelle Hart @Colin McGee @Absie Pantshwa @Edward Chamberlain-Bell @Tw Robinson @Amanda Mirrlees @Heather Boers @Louise Buchler @Elmarie Ward Ward @Nicky Gibbs @Francois Blom @Angela Perry @D Fox @Ida Keogh @Kathryn shelly Holmes @Marilyn Harris @Henry Hunter @Cal Newport @Gwen Roach @Michael Teferi @Brenda Chilstrom @Daniel Albert @Lizzy CommunityExpert @Lara Knutzen @Helen Murphy @Lubna Furqan @Tewodros Endalew @Gemma Coles @Crystal Viera @Ayhan Aqrawi @Sherri Kenny @Germaine Miller-Summers @Dani Rosenblad James @James McDonald @Julianne Anderson @Thomas Joshua @Dar Brown @Elma Shaw @Kimberly Wright @Michel Guntern @Ferrierra Gueneivain @Marcello Iori @Emilly Elisa @

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE FOODIE TV SERIES AND MOVIES?
@Mary Lummerding reminded me of one of my very favourite series, 'Salt Fat Acid Heat by Samin Nosrat. Thanks for the reminder, Mary. I'm definitely going to rewatch it. I'm also a great fan of MasterChef - and am watching the latest MasterChef Australia series. Brilliant! What's yours? I'd love to know - I'm such a lover of series (and movies) about food!

SO I'M BECOMING FAMOUS!
Here's @Roberto Srpak's post on his https://www.skool.com/navigator/about site. 📖 Meet Gwynne: Helping Families Turn Recipes & Memories Into Published Heirlooms Gwynne is building something beautifully meaningful with IT’S TIME TO TELL YOUR STORY. A community for people who have family recipes, kitchen memories, and stories they want to preserve - but aren’t quite sure how to turn them into a real book. Inside, Gwynne is developing The Legacy Cookbook Academy - a step-by-step path to help people turn scattered recipes and memories into an enduring cookbook and family heirloom. Not just another writing community. Members can work on things like: 📚 Deciding what kind of cookbook they want to create 📝 Uncovering and capturing family memories 🛠 Using proven tools to shape the writing 🍲 Learning how to write recipes that actually work 📖 Turning recipes + stories into a structured manuscript 🚀 Publishing the finished book through Amazon KDP What I especially like is the deeper purpose behind Gwynne’s positioning. She is not simply helping people write cookbooks. She is helping them preserve family history, stories, recipes, and memories that might otherwise disappear over time. That matters. Because collecting recipes is one thing. Turning them into something your children, grandchildren, and future generations can actually hold onto is something else entirely. And Gwynne brings real authority to this too - as an award-winning food journalist, author, and publisher. She is now applying simple, relationship-based strategies to grow this in a more structured way. 🎁 The Mystery Gift gives her easy-to-use strategies: ✅ Ways to attract clients without spending money on ads ✅ Simple ways to build real trust with people ✅ Smart methods to turn conversations into paying customers
