In this episode Ashleigh breaks down the process of writing her cookbook, It Takes Guts, with her cookbook photographer (and long time friend) Heather MacDonald. They talk about imposter syndrome, learning while doing (instead of waiting for the “perfect time”), what it meant to work on a big project with a friend, insider tips on food photography, and how to overcome all the obstacles in your way - including finishing a tight deadline in the middle of a global pandemic! This is a fun inside look at the power of friendships and support, and how rewarding it can be to take risks and try something new.

My nose-to-tail cookbook, It Takes Guts, is available now in-stores and online on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Chapters!
