168: Kitchen Arts & Letters

Note: this podcast contains explicit content.

Today, we welcome Matt Sartwell into the studio. Matt is the owner of the legendary New York City bookstore Kitchen Arts & Letters, and he’s one of the biggest supporters of cookbook publishing in the business. On this episode, we find out what it’s like to run an independent cookbook store today, and we go over some of Matt’s favorite cookbooks of the year—including what is selling briskly in the Upper East Side store. Matt also shares his thoughts about what the publishing industry is missing (hint: it’s hot and rhymes with “schloup”). It was really fun catching up with Matt and talking about cookbooks.More from Matt Sartwell:A Q&A with Matt Sartwell [Shelf Awareness]Browse the KAL books by category [KAL]Subscribe: Kitchen Arts & Letters newsletter Learn more about your ad choices.
