About BCP

Burnt Cheese Press was founded with the goal of connecting cooks and eaters alike through fun, approachable, useful, and innovative food-related media. 

BCP successfully funded its award-winning first release, The 8x8 Cookbook: Square Meals for Weeknight Family Dinners, Desserts and More--In One Perfect 8x8-Inch Dish, via a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter in 2015. Its second award-winning title, The Lemonade Stand Cookbook: Step-by-Step Recipes and Crafts for Kids to Make -- and Sell!, was released in 2017. The books are now available for purchase wherever books are sold or, for signed copies, directly through Burnt Cheese Press in the Shop.
