A HandBuilt Life

Cookbooks, creativity and what to make for dinner with Christine Flynn

Our guest is chef, recipe developer, bestselling cookbook author and maker Christine Flynn. Hailing from the East Coast of Canada, Christine and Heather had a rollicking conversation that covers big life and career pivots, what it actually takes to write a cookbook (spoiler: it's more expensive than you can imagine), and how to look at a fridge full of sad ingredients and figure out dinner anyway.⁠ ⁠ This is exactly the kind of conversation we hoped to have when we launched AHBL — wide-ranging, honest, and a little bit all over the creative map in the best way. Follow @christineanneflynn for more — her farm life content and what she's cooking are endlessly inspiring.
