From Buffets to Bestsellers with Rachel Holtzman
Description
This week on Hey Sis, Eat This, Courtney and Whitney chat with Rachel Holtzman, the woman behind more than sixty co-authored books with names like Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen, Eden Grinshpan’s Tahini Baby, Alicia Silverstone, Tiffani Thiessen, and Robin Quivers.
Rachel shares how her path took her from the glossy Elle magazine world to the kitchen at Gramercy Tavern, blending her love of storytelling and food into a career helping others bring their ideas to life. She explains how she captures each client’s authentic voice, creates space for vulnerability, and helps authors tell stories that feel personal and true.
And then there is Momma Lois. Rachel learned early on that her love of food might come from childhood buffet trips where she perfected the art of a Caesar salad topped with fried calamari. She also credits her mom for her curiosity and drive. Lois is the kind of woman who once decided to learn how to make lattes at Starbucks just to understand the system, and her favorite piece of advice still guides Rachel today: “You can make your life as easy or as hard as you want to.”
Pull up a plate and listen in for stories that’ll leave you hungry, inspired, and maybe rethinking your next buffet strategy.
