Turning a Love of Food and Books into a Business


Listen Later

If you're into food, books, or doing good... you’re going to love this one.

Kimberly Behzadi is the founder of Read It & Eat Bookshop, Buffalo’s first culinary bookstore that mixes reading, eating, and giving back in the tastiest way possible.

We talk about:

  • How she turned her book subscription box into a brick-and-mortar store
  • The magic of cookbooks, chef memoirs, and food writing that makes you hungry
  • Her Books & Cooks series (yes, you can actually take cooking classes!)
  • The mission behind their Food First weekends and why giving back is baked into everything they do
  • The delicious extras you'll find in-store, like baking kits, cocktail mixers, and global spices
