Savory Bakes #15

Hello, my delightful subscribers. I am here with your September letter and all the news that’s fit to print about everybody’s fave easy-peasy savory baking book (hitting shelves in a few short weeks,aka 9/24),  Salty Cheesy Herby Crispy Snackable Bakes. I know I sound like/I am 100% a broken record, but if you have not yet pre-ordered a copy of Salty Cheesy, please consider doing so. Thank you thank you thank you in advance. And if signed copies are your everything, you can get one from Oblong Books or, from Kitchen Arts & Letters. And if you’re eager to read some early “press” about the new book, please check out what Forbes had to say here (❤️).

In last month’s letter I talked alot about the machinations of a cookbook tour - and all of those dates etc. will be announced this week. But in today’s letter, I thought it might be fun to walk you through the process of choosing the cover for the book. As you can see from the below images, we went through a few different iterations and, as it is for every author, it was stressful. I mean the cover of a cookbook can be the difference between someone picking it up in a bookstore and starting to page through, followed by a purchase; versus passing right over it - it’s truly the book’s “calling card.” I mean peeps really do “judge a book by its cover,” even if they shouldn’t.
