Tips for selling recipe books
- Give a signature recipe away as the free preview so buyers can test your style.
- Name the cuisine or theme in the title, such as 'Weeknight Korean home cooking'.
- Photograph finished dishes in natural light and keep the layout easy to read at arm's length.
- Include both metric and US measurements if you sell internationally.
- Use options for a standalone eBook or a bundle with printable recipe cards and meal planners.

Questions about selling recipe books
Can I sell recipes I've posted on my blog?
Yes, your own recipes are yours to sell. Many bloggers add exclusive recipes, better photos and printable layouts to make the eBook worth buying.
Do I need to include nutrition facts?
It's optional. If you include them, note that they are estimates and not dietary advice.
Can I sell recipes adapted from other cookbooks?
Ingredient lists alone are generally not protected, but written instructions, photos and headnotes are. Write your own method and use your own photos, and credit inspiration where appropriate.
