Chef Franco Lania at work on his book in the New York City Library

I can’t begin to tell you what a joy it has been to work with Chef Franco Lania on his first  book. I’ve been working with Franco since February, and we’ve made tremendous progress. This is because he is devoted to his craft, and his professionalism shows in everything he does. He’s a chef who loves his work, and loves to write about what he’s experienced.

Chef Franco started his career in the culinary industry more than 20 years ago. He’s a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu, London and is also a master chef from Italy.

Born and raised in New Jersey, he’s traveled the world on a culinary journey that has gotten him on cruise ships and working in some of the greatest restaurants in London, Milan, Miami and New York. I have really enjoyed learning about all of his adventures!

He’s worked on the famed Oceania Cruise Line where he got the opportunity to meet Jacques Pepin! Franco’s  been thinking about writing a cookbook for a while and early this year he decided the time was now! That’s when he contacted me…the Cookbook Coach!

I am excited about this collaboration as we now have 4 more books planned for the near future!

This first book will be a memoir of his travels and the knowledge he has gained along the way – about food, cooking, and life!

A variety of recipe books will follow and they promise to be full of all the fantastic recipes and the “secrets” Franco has learned during his diverse career and travels.

Stay tuned!

It wasn’t too long ago that I published my first cookbook, The Rose Cookbook – a Treasury of Rose Recipes from Around the World.

That was in 2007. I was really excited to have my cookbook in my hand…but guess what…I didn’t have a website to showcase my book.  Now what? I lost a lot of precious time and I remember thinking that I should have taken care of that while I was waiting for my book to be printed.

About that same time, I realized there should be a system for cookbook authors that would help them write their book. With those thoughts swirling about in my mind, I became the Cookbook Coach.

I then made a promise to myself to dedicate my time to creating the system for writing cookbooks, and also create a space for author’s like myself, who had just finished their books, but didn’t quite have a place to show it off yet.
