Rose shares that she pitched cookbooks for years before selling one, a reminder that slow doesn’t mean failure. It’s a conversation about persistence, creative heartbreak, and the quiet faith it takes to keep writing when no one’s said yes yet.Kitchen Tape is hosted by Rose Wilde @trosewilde and Crystal Slonecker @crystalslonecker, edited by Dressler Parsons @dresslerparsons of The Regenerative Baking Podcast, with original theme music by Dan Crabtree.Follow us on Instagram @kitchentapepodcast and hit like and subscribe to stay up to date on new episodes and behind-the-scenes crumbs.
