A speaker in a podcast-style YouTube video discusses approaching cookbook writing to serve both experienced cooks and those who feel insecure in the kitchen. The speaker argues for including very detailed, hand-holding instructions (down to amounts and step-by-step guidance) to build readers’ confidence and ownership of dishes, reduce stress and last-minute trips to the store, and make novices feel successful.

And for us that are more experienced cooks, you know, the amount of kale in a recipe is not actually going to make it or break it. So maybe that's why most cookbooks don't go into that level of detail. But I also want to write for that person that is a little more insecure and really needs that kind of extra level of hand holding so that they feel successful from beginning all the way through the end of the recipe, because that just makes you feel good. And then you get to the end and you're like, wow, like, that was my kale salad. That was my stir fry. Like, Erin kind of started it out. But by the end, you have that ownership and that confidence is what I really want to give people. And so if you can write with that intent from the beginning, you will save yourself hours of stress and emergency trips to Whole Foods.
