On February 9 to 11, the Roger Smith Hotel will host the Cookbook Conference, a three day intensive series of panels and workshops for publishers, writers, editors, agents, researchers and readers. The goal isn’t just practical advice–how to pitch, position and test a cookbook, say–but also to think deeply about the history and future of a genre that most of those who read this site take very, very seriously.
Registration is $299 for both days and includes lunch and evening receptions featuring local and handcrafted goods, both of which we can also get behind. Plus there’s an onsite bookshop operated by Kitchen Arts & Letters showcasing authors participating in the conference. There are also three $75 workshops on Thursday: Introduction to Cookbook Publishing. There’s also Reading Cookbooks: a Structured Approach and Structured Dialogue; and A Cookbook for the Year 2020: An Experimental Case Study.
