Tampa Bay, Florida


On a recent trip to Tampa, I had the pleasure of meeting some members of the Junior League of Tampa.


This league has a long history of producing exceptional cookbooks with FRP.


This was my first trip to Tampa - a beautiful city, indeed.


Something that sticks out in my mind is how the JL of Tampa's cookbooks, particularly Life of the Party, Savor the Seasons, and Everyday Feasts, capture and convey what it's like to be in this laid-back, exotic city.



How can a cookbook do that?


The answer to that may very well be the secret to a successful cookbook, or set of them.

Check these books out for yourself and see if you can't identify the elements that make a bestselling cookbook.
