Book Reviews of Will Write for Food: The Complete Guide to Writing Cookbooks, Restaurant Reviews, Articles, Memoir, Fiction and More

Book Review: Thoroughly enjoyable read
Summary: 5 Stars

I picked this book up hoping to write a cookbook, and I have to say that I love it overall. Dianne's style is lyrical, and she's got the friendly tone of a beloved mentor. It's a comprehensive guide, and while it covers any topics, if you want to delve into deeper detail on any one of them, you need to do more digging for further resources. This guide, though, is a great introduction and inspiration. Highly recommended.
