This week we’re chatting all things cookbooks with our favorite Italian meatball-making-meatballs, Dan Pelosi! Dan is the mind behind GrossyPelosi, the popular Instagram account for all things comfort and food. Dan’s first cookbook, Let’s Eat, hits bookshelves on September 5, 2023!

We talk to Dan about the behind-the-scenes of how cookbooks get made, from recipe development to food styling to how getting a cookbook deal differs from other book deals.
