Episode 282: Being a Cookbook Writer: Sharing Real Life with Your Community with Kat Ashmore, Creator of @katcancook

Welcome to another episode of the podcast. Today on the podcast, I have an interview with Kat Ashmore. Kat is the digital creator behind Kat Can Cook. Before becoming a TikTok food sensation, Kat graduated from the Institute of Culinary Education in NYC. She then worked for Martha Stewart, developing recipes and producing cooking segments on the Martha Steward Show. She is known for her skillful ability to incorporate clever food hacks and tips into fun, simple, and delicious recipes that just happen to be healthy too. Her real life, authentic, unfussy approach, and relatability have created a community of enthusiastic home cooks. Today on the podcast, we talk about Kat’s journey from Martha Stewart to her first cookbook, Big Bites, and her journey through food media on camera and off.
