Praise for The Recipe Writer's Handbook
Revised and Expanded
Barbara Ostmann and Jane Baker are experienced food editors who know their stuff. To achieve success, a recipe must be written with impeccable accuracy and unambiguous clarity. The Recipe Writer's Handbook achieves both objectives in full measure. -Irena Chalmers, author and professional food writing lecturer at The Culinary Institute of America
The First Edition of The Recipe Writer's Handbook was a terrific resource, and this revised edition is downright indispensable. It is full of answers to questions about recipe style and substance. Ostmann and Baker have cooked up a delicious addition to any serious food writer's desk. -Mitchell Davis, Director of Publications, The James Beard Foundation
Writing recipes is a tricky business, and anyone who wants to do so successfully should have this book. The tables, glossaries, and charts alone are worth the price, not to
mention the authors' generous helpings of good, sound advice. -John Willoughby, coauthor, Thrill of the Grill and How to Cook Meat
The Recipe Writer's Handbook is indispensable in the range and depth of information it offers both the novice and seasoned culinary writer. It contains everything you need to know-all beautifully organized and presented in a handy, easy-to-use format. Ostmann and Baker are masters of their trade! -Paula Lambert, President of the International Association of Culinary Professionals, founder of the Mozzarella Company, and author of The Cheese Lover's Cookbook and Guide
First Edition Nominated for Best Food Book, 1999 World Media Food Awards
