105: Bebe Carminito on Building Community Through Cookbooks

Kate and Molly speak about cookbook clubs and career shifts with debut author Bebe Carminito. Bebe shares what inspired her love of food and her various career changes, from makeup artist to pastry assistant to food stylist to cookbook author. She followed her curiosity, gathering contacts, classes and experience over the years which eventually led to a beautiful full circle moment with this book, The Curated Board. She talks about starting a cookbook club and how that led to joining, or starting, four others as well as the ins and outs of running them and what grabs her attention when selecting a title. She discusses the experience of styling her own book, working with her photographer and with contributors for the book's recipes before leaving us with some truly inspirational advice.   Hosts: Kate Leahy + Molly Stevens + Kristin Donnelly + Andrea Nguyen Editor: Abby Cerquitella   Mentions Bebe CarminitoWebsiteInstagram   Mechanics Cookbook Club qb Cucina The Proof Collective Mimi Thorisson The Whisk and Spoon Leslie Jonath Lauren Ruben Susan Spungen Shelley Lindgren Christine Gallary The Jam Lab Marie Reginato Kim Laidlaw Anna Voloshyna Emily Cooper Molly DeCoudreaux Anne's Toum Balcony People by Joyce Landorf Heatherley   Visit the Everything Cookbooks Bookshop to purchase a copy of the books mentioned in the showThe Curated Board by Bebe Black Carminito
