What are cookbooks?  Why have they been so influential? Will there be any cookbooks in 2020?  These are some questions that will be considered at this first-ever cookbook conference.  This three-day event will be an eclectic gathering of those who publish, write, edit, agent, research, or simply buy and use cookbooks.  The objective is to share their very different learning experiences.

Thirty panels and three workshops incorporate over 80 cookbook writers, bloggers, agents, editors and publishers.  Included are: Molly O’Neill, Darra Goldstein, Melissa Clark, Judith Jones, Anne Mendelson, Betty Fussell, Amanda Hesser, Paul Freedman, Madhur Jaffrey, Laura Shapiro, Barbara Fairchild, Barbara Ketcham Wheaton, Joan Nathan, Ken Albala.
