Cookbook Editing & Consulting

Cookbook consulting, from proposal to publication


Are you interested in writing a cookbook, but don't know where to start? Did your agent or editor suggest that you find a writer or recipe editor for your cookbook or proposal? Have you finished your self-published cookbook manuscript, but want an experienced editor to look it over before you send the file to the printer? I love helping chefs, culinary professionals, and brands produce the cookbooks of their dreams. This can include any or all of the following tasks:
  • Writing and/or editing proposals to send to agents
  • Researching potential food photographers, food stylists, recipe testers, etc.
  • Serving as a project manager to make sure all deliverables are submitted on schedule
  • Coaching the author through the writing process
  • Collaborating with the author as a writer, recipe editor, and/or recipe tester
  • Editing the completed cookbook manuscript

​Peggy can be depended upon for thoughtful, experienced food editing: she has the background of an in-house editor so has a head for pacifying designers and satisfying authors while keeping an eye on the schedule above all. And she’s a great lunch date to boot!” — Kristen Green Wiewora, former senior cookbook editor at Running Press Book Publishers
