In episode 350, Megan chats to Alyssa Brantley about the process of writing a cookbook and how it can reenergize your creativity for blogging.

Alyssa is the author of I Don’t Want to Cook Book and her cooking philosophy is whole foods that take half the time, meaning just because you’re busy doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eat great. She applies this philosophy to her popular food blog, Everyday Maven, where she shares seasonal whole food recipes that are packed with flavour made in minutes with easy shortcuts. Her work has been featured widely in magazines such as Gourmet and Real Simple. In this episode, Alyssa shares tips for making the process of writing a cookbook manageable and enjoyable.

- Can you remove your biggest hurdle to writing a cookbook?

- What elements can you change to make your cookbook unique?

- If you do everything, you can’t do anything to the best of your ability.

- Which tasks can you hand over to someone else?

- Think strategically about the ingredients and instructions for your recipes.

- What extra value can you add to your readers’ lives?

- Be creative in a field other than blogging to spark your inspiration for food blogging.
