— Chef TraeA FEW THINGS TO KNOW
We can help organize recipes, design the book, prepare publishing files, and guide publication. A chef can publish through their own account, or discuss a studio publishing arrangement. Before work starts, we agree in writing on permissions, account ownership, costs, sales income, and responsibilities. Publication remains subject to the chosen platform’s requirements.
Yes. With your approval, your published cookbook can have a listing here with its cover, description, chef credit, and a link to its purchase page. A listing does not transfer ownership of your work.
Your recipes stay yours. We help with organization, clarity, and consistent formatting. You confirm quantities, cooking instructions, yields, and recipe testing, and approve the finished book.
Absolutely. We can bring recipes, family photos, and short memories together in a personalized PDF. Private family books do not need to be published or listed in our collection.
Projects are quoted individually based on recipe count, editing, photographs, design, and publishing needs. We agree on the work and price before production starts. Printing, platform fees, and any sales-income arrangement are discussed separately.
