Cookbook Design Lab 2.1 – Why Write a Cookbook?
In this first module, you’ll define exactly why you’re making a cookbook, who it’s for, and what belongs in it, so you don’t end up with a random recipe dump, but a focused collection readers actually use, share, and buy.
You’ll leave Week 1 with:
- A clear project purpose, audience, and hook.
- A focused concept and preliminary table of contents.
- A prioritized recipe shortlist with sourcing notes.
- An initial plan for testing, attribution, and permissions where needed.
Whether you’re a pizza obsessive, a comfort-food reinventor, or the person who finally mastered CSA greens, Module 1 helps you turn your idea into a compelling, well-structured cookbook readers can’t wait to cook from.
