Welcome to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast.

Today I'm talking with Katherine Anderson, owner of The London Plane, a restaurant, flower shop, and bakery that became a meaningful community gathering space.

When The London Plane closed in 2023, Katherine chose not to let the story end there. In this conversation, we talk about the vision behind her book, The London Plane Flower and Cook Book, created to capture the spirit of the space and preserve what it meant to so many people.

Inside this episode:

• How the restaurant, flower shop, and bakery came together to create a one-of-a-kind collaborative experience

• The decision to document and carry forward the space after its closure in 2023

• What it looked like to include seasonal recipes, including dishes inspired by flowers, alongside the restaurant's chef's contributed recipes

• Katherine's self-publishing journey and her perspective for aspiring cookbook authors

This episode is a reminder that a cookbook can become a lasting expression of a place while holding its spirit, its creativity, and the community it gathered.

Welcome to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast.

Today I talk about why your cookbook can feel like it's not going anywhere, even when you're actively working on it—and how a lack of direction underneath the work creates hidden costs that most people don't see at first.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why recipe writing, organizing, and planning can still feel like you're not making progress
• The hidden costs of working without a clear direction for your cookbook
• How lack of direction affects time, money, momentum, and decision-making
• Why everything feels important when there's no clear publishing path guiding your choices

If your cookbook feels like it's stuck in motion but not actually taking shape, this episode will help you see what's really happening underneath the surface.

You're not stuck because you're not working enough—you're stuck because your work doesn't yet have a clear direction to move in.

Welcome to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast.

In this episode, I'm sharing something personal. There's a lot of conversation right now about AI. How to use it, how to move faster, how to generate more. And while I do use it in certain ways, I've found myself coming back to something very different that is not faster or more.

In this episode, I walk you through the rhythm I've developed to support how I think, write, and cook. These are simple practices I return to every day and every week, not as a system, but as a way of staying connected to my work. Over time, this rhythm has helped me think more clearly, make decisions more easily, and stay present in the process of writing.

If you've been feeling scattered, stuck, or disconnected from your cookbook project, this episode will give you a grounded place to return to.

• The daily practices that help me think clearly

• What supports creative thinking and decision-making

• The role of daily and weekly rhythms in staying creatively fueled

• What it looks like to build a rhythm that supports your work

In the end, writing a cookbook and running a business isn't just about the book or the business. It's about your life while you create while working on and in them.
