For home cooking creators
Turn your home cooking into a guide to sell.
Want to sell a home cooking guide beyond a collection of recipes? Your audience's questions about shopping, substitutions and preparation order could shape a practical workbook for weeknight meals. We research, write and design it in your voice, built first at our cost.
For creators with an engaged, English speaking audience, typically between 10,000 and 100,000 followers.
The questions
The guide is already in your comments.
Repeated questions can suggest what a guide should explain. They do not prove that someone will buy. We read your content, comments and questions, then group the recurring asks into a product idea to evaluate.
What can I make with what is already in my fridge?
a possible meal-planning questionCan I swap the ingredient I cannot find?
a question under a recipe demonstrationWhat order do you cook everything in?
a request for the steps between recipe clipsCan you put the shopping list with the recipes?
a possible request for a practical companion

Why a guide
A recipe is one meal. A workbook can connect that recipe to a shopping list, a preparation order and notes for next time. The useful product is the organization around your cooking, as well as the recipes themselves.

Questions
Before you apply.
My recipes are already free. What would a cooking workbook add?
It could put related recipes in a usable order, with shopping worksheets, preparation timelines and clearly identified tested variations. We would not label an untested recipe as tested. We do not promise sales. You review the finished product before anything launches.
Do I need to write the guide myself?
No. We research, write and design the whole product from your content and your audience's questions, in your voice. You read the finished product and approve it before anything is published.
Who owns the product?
This is set in the written agreement before work starts. We do not publish anything under your name without your approval, and we do not claim your audience or your content.
