Writing a cookbook is only one part of the process. And we should know! We're Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough, authors of over three dozen cookbooks under our own names, plus more for celebrities and GI doctors.

It's a long process to get a cookbook into a bookstore (and into your hands). We thought we'd take the time and explain why it takes about two and a half years for a cookbook to finally be for sale.

Join us for an insider look at the steps to creating and publishing a cookbook. Plus, a one-minute cooking tip. And the answer to "what's making us happy in food this week?"
