With 10+ years experience as an editor,
20+ years as a very good home cook,
and an adventurous academic interest in early Transatlantic history,
I think I am a perfect fit for your book.
The description of your cookbook reminds me a great deal of my own favorite cookbook, "The Big Jones Cookbook." It is largely southern American cuisine, but there is careful examination of the history of American cuisine and even of the earliest American cookbooks! It makes the recipes so much more interesting to have historical context.
Also, I think it will be helpful that I love cookbooks. I know from user-experience what makes a good cookbook.
Please see my reviews and profile, and you can see from my reviews that I will go above and beyond for my clients. I will treat your manuscript as carefully as I would my own. You'll get careful editing and clear feedback from me.
Then if you are interested in working with me, I'd like to discuss your project in detail through chat. I dearly hope you'll reach out, because it's been years since I worked on a cookbook, and I'd love to work on this one.
Good luck with your book, and thank you for considering me.
Sincerely,
Anna
