Lisa Ekus, A Queen of Culinary Publishing

Our guest today is Lisa Ekus, founder of The Ekus Group, a literary agency specializing in “representing a world of culinary talent.” She has over 40 years of experience representing a wide selection of food personalities, writers, cookbooks, restaurants, and food products. The agency she founded represents more than 350 authors and works with numerous leading publishers worldwide. A sought after expert and agent, Lisa’s media training, which was featured on NPR’s “All Things Considered,” helps culinary professionals improve their media presentation, video, and interviewing skills, traveling globally to present seminars, workshops, and panels. She has hosted everyone from Julia Child to Emeril Lagasse in her kitchen and at her table. 

Lisa sees food as the common denominator that brings family and friends together, and she sits down for dinner as often as possible with her family, friends, and clients. Last, but not least, she also is the proud owner of more than 7,000 cookbooks. The Guinness Book of World Records just awarded Lisa the honor of holding the largest personal cookbook collection in the world. A Kochleffel of the first order! Let’s have a listen.
