What does it
really take to write a cookbook that’s more than just recipes? In today’s episode, I sit down with dietitian, creator, and now cookbook author Kylie Sakaida to talk about the real story behind her debut book
So Easy, So Good. Kylie opens up about the emotional and logistical rollercoaster of cookbook writing—from battling imposter syndrome and perfectionism to cooking eight recipes a day in her apartment. We talk creativity, content burnout, and what it’s like to stay grounded when your career explodes online. If you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book, sharing your message, or just want a behind-the-scenes look at a very real journey to publishing, this one’s for you. Tune in to hear:
- What Kylie wishes more people knew about cookbook writing (hint: it’s not just glamour shots and taste tests)
- How she balances content creation, creative burnout, and life offline
- The surprising emotional growth that came from standing her ground during the publishing process
- Her honest take on disordered eating recovery and how it shaped her approach to food today
- Why “being a little delulu” might be the secret to chasing big dreams
