You're so funny. But reading cookbooks and not really my thing because I find out a bit boring. At the Rogers watch and Deadpool every scene to practice.Gravy wrote: ↑05 Jul 2016, 03:30 Seeing how very many people prefer the internet to cookbooks nowadays, I find myself wondering exactly what it would take to make you pick one up?
It seems to me that just offering recipes isn't enough, so what else could someone add to a "cookbook" that would make it worth your time?
I know there are quite a few authors who've included different recipes that are related in some way to their book, but what is the reverse of this?
I suppose making it into a pseudo memoir could work. Goodness knows I'd probably give it a second look

It's also the presentation of the cookbook that pulls me in, such as the photos of the end result, if those look good then I am more likely than not to grab a cookbook and buy it.

I think a good way to draw people to cookbooks is making the recipes approachable. For example, 30 minute meals, one pot meals, 10 ingredients or less, etc. Then you always know it'll be a simple recipe that will still be tasty!
