Julia has coauthored numerous cookbooks and has written for TheNew York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Vogue, Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Saveur, and more. She’s one of the great cooks and writers of our time and The New York Times has described her “at the forefront of the new generation of authentic, approachable authors.” Julia not only loves cooking and writing about food, she also loves talking about it and hosts her own podcast, Keep Calm and Cook On. She’s genuine, talented, and kind. I loved this conversation with her that spanned a wide range of topics, including her creative process, working with big names on coauthored books, her new cookbook Simply Julia, body image, diet culture and the food industry, perfectionism as it relates to capitalism, effortlessness actually taking effort, connection, cooking for one, and more.new to *let it out* --> start with these linkskatie's siteour start here guideCREATIVE UNDERDOGS++ LET IT OUT letter  katie's bookLET IT OUT kits  Sponsors: Join me live for the after show at stereo.com/katiedaleboutVisit athleticgreens.com/katie to get your FREE year supply of Vitamin D and 5 free travel packs today.  Get 15% off your first order at jennikayne.com with code LETITOUT. Show notes:- Creative Underdogs starts March 1st!- Join me live for the weekly after show on Stereo!
