Episode 86: Interview with Cookbook Writer and Collector Judi Leib

Hi and welcome back to another episode of the podcast. Today I feature an interview with Judi Leib. Judi has been in love with food and cooking for as long as she can remember. She is a 1985 graduate of The Restaurant School in Philadelphia and after her graduation worked at every end of the food business from the front of the house to the back of the house and hotels and catering. When her children were young, Judi quit the business and decided to stay home and raise her children. Judi met the late Molly O’Neil former food columnist for The New York Times Magazine and author of three cookbooks, including the award-winning The New York Cookbook. After meeting Molly, Judi was inspired to write her first cookbook, which is currently with an agent being shopped to publishers. In this interview, Judi and I talk about cookbooks, cookbook writing, and the power of having a mentor.
