A look inside… I love every aspect of writing a new cookbook but food photography is quickly becoming one of my favorite steps of the process. I’ve collected a studio full of beautiful ceramic pieces to display recipes like this savory, Crispy Mushroom Crostini Recipe! EnJOY!

Now that our little winery is up & running for the season, I’m incredibly excited to announce the launch of The Designer’s Palate COMING THIS JULY 2026! This is my 3rd cookbook in the Farm-to-Table Fabulous series and part of a 5-book deal with my new publisher, @levelbestbooks

@mssocialwelfare Never give up. Take breaks & vent because no one expects positivity all the time. It only takes one person, agent, publisher & that takes time. My first book took 8 mos of pitching & I just signed a contract after almost a year of rejections after my publisher closed their doors

[Kimberly Storm Ritter, Author @farm2tablefab]

@lapis_lazuli11 Yes to all the above lol! I just signed a 5 book deal which includes 2 previous books to be relaunched, a current completed manuscript and 2 future tbd books which are all part of a series. Definitely mention book 2 :-)

@sarapucciauthor Have you tried submitting a proposal directly to a publisher? After months of querying I decided to go that route because I was so discouraged and I’ve been offered a contract! 2 months feels like an eternity but it’s not that long to give up just yet ;-)

@kareeve17 Thank you!

@Amandabadillo25 You’re awesome!! Thank you so much for your time and incredibly valuable insight!! I’m so grateful for such a thoughtful and detailed response. I’m working hard to build my platform and crossing my fingers (and toes) someone believes in me enough to represent me!☺️

[Kimberly Storm Ritter, Author @farm2tablefab]

@Jelenawrites Ughhh agreed! I only joined X to query and now I’m avoiding my inbox daily. It’s so weird!

[Kimberly Storm Ritter, Author @farm2tablefab]

@Jelenawrites Haha this is awesome! Same!!! I’m afraid to open my inbox lol!

[Kimberly Storm Ritter, Author @farm2tablefab]

@foodandwine This looks so much like my new cookbook! I’d be so grateful if you’d throw me a like today during #questpit. We NF Cookbook authors are few and far between here on X. ❤️
