What an incredible story, with a ton of tidbits to take away. Sandra is among the smartest, hard-working, kindest, and most joyful people I've ever met - not to mention a stellar writer and cook. I'm thrilled she gave me some sage advice as I embark on my cookbook journey.
“When my colleague and I got in the cab after the meeting, we took a minute to hold space for manifesting this book deal for Sandra. It was what she had worked her entire career towards. I will never forget the feeling of taking the time to put a little extra energy towards Sandra achieving the book of her dreams.”
This is so fantastic, Sally and Sandra! Sandra and I started our representation by the Ekus group around the same time, so we're really among the OGs. I admire Sandra's writing, work ethic, deep knowledge, and research. Can't wait for part 2!
THIS: "When my colleague and I got in the cab after the meeting, we took a minute to hold space for manifesting this book deal for Sandra." BEST AGENT EVER.
Everything Sandra does is filled with intelligence, energy and goodwill. This book is such an important addition to our collective knowledge about food and culture. It has been such a gift to work with her and to now call her a friend!
I often think that the best part about the food world is the possibility of connecting with people like Sandra. What a gift! Love this interview, Sally!
Also: “Why throw the baby away with the bath water, right?” is simply the best advice hahahaha
Such a thoughtful, respectful, comprehensive and admirable Q&A. Look forward to Part II.
But, of course, this would be a "gem": Both interviewer and interviewee are such shining, genuine gems -- and guiding lights.
P.S. As an "oldtimer," I sincerely hope "Mom" Lisa reads this and basks in the glow cast by her daughter -)
P.P.S. I should bite my tongue, but, sadly, I feel urge to somewhat curmudgeonly express my perturbance for newbies who may be standing on Sandra's shoulders without crediting the "lift" she and her work(s) provided them.

You're so sweet!
I hear you re the acknowledgement that Sandra and her body of work deserve.
Thanks for sharing this story Sally! So many great bits to chew on.
I love Sandra’s story! This book is a work of art, and I appreciate you all taking the time to share how it came to be!
Thanks for reading Laura!
