#11: In this episode, my dear friend, Liz Moody sat down to interview me on the cookbook writing process. We chat about everything that had to do with creating my first cookbook, Just the Good Stuff, which is officially out in the universe! I share the steps to landing a book deal starting with finding an agent, writing the proposal, finding a publisher that worked for my dream book, and then we dive into the actual recipe creation process. We also talk about how I didn't have a book title until just before pre-order, what I really wanted to have on the cover (spoiler alert: it isn't what I originally envisioned), and all the details on the photoshoot for my cookbook. The evolution of my business and where I see it going in the future and expanding my team. Liz has an exciting prediction on where my business will go as well. We also dive into a bit more on why I cook with the ingredients I do, my overall perceptive on food and eating in general.

Just the Good Stuff has officially LAUNCHED. I will be headed out on my cookbook tour starting in NYC then LA, Austin, West Palm Beach, Nashville and Chicago. Follow along over on @rachLmansfield and visit my blog for the latest cookbook scoop. The entire book is gluten-free and there are tons of dairy-free, paleo, plant-based and nut-free recipes. 

Thank you so much to the lovely Liz Moody for taking the time to interview me for JTGS. Please follow Liz over @lizmoody, subscribe to her podcast and order her two amazing cookbooks!
