Cookbooks are nonfiction books that educate the audience about cooking techniques, dishes, and ingredients. They typically contain collections of recipes with step-by-step instructions that guide the reader through preparing a particular food.
The focus of cookbooks can vary widely. Popular themes and topics include:
Your cooking expertise, intended audience, personal interests, and market trends can help you decide on a direction for your cookbook. For instance, if you’re a passionate vegan, you can use your cookbook to promote your values and share innovative recipes. And if you want to write a cookbook for children, you’ll likely want to stick to simple, fun recipes that young cooks can easily recreate.
Road House Publishing can make the self-publishing process affordable, easy, and fun. Our team can help you polish your cookbook and share it with the world. You can take advantage of our many book publishing services, including:

Antonio Lopez is a fantastic project manager. This is my first experience with publishing although I have written many newsletter articles. Antonio's patience and support have been instrumental in me wanting to write more. As an 85 year old retired educator, I have acquired many ideas through the years for children's books and teacher training support which I am enjoying to share through publishing. Please extend my compliments to the entire support staff. Illustrations are fantastic and the proofing is outstanding. Thank you.

My experience with Emma Felix as senior project manager was great ! Her team was responsive, detail-oriented and open to comments. I got to work at my pace. That made a huge difference. The typesetting was perfect. The team produced my eye-catching book cover in a flash ! I had a great manuscript to start with. Now, I have a fantastic book to sell. All the best to Emma and her team.

I had been thinking about publishing my shocking diary experiences with my ex-wife & browsed on self-publishing in mid October 2024. Having clicked on the page, Zach Francis popped up on a chat box “how can I help you?”. I told him my thoughts & we chatted for maybe an hour? I sent my (very) draft WORD file & at the end, I agreed to sign up. Next up, I was contacted by Cheryl Ann who has been my contact & constant companion throughout the process of cleaning up the document into a 500 page book. Daily “pings” on the dedicated platform to communicate & send document updates, book cover, video trailer etc. Cheryl must work long hours & is dedicated.

I have been very impressed with publishing services. Felix Larsson was fantastic at the commencement of the program. He clearly explained the cost and processes and they have reflected my experience so far. Incredibly reasonably priced and has helped me fulfil my publishing dream. He also checks in and is super helpful. Harvey West then took over and has been working hard to get the illustrations completed and the project finalised. I have appreciated their commitment and attention to my needs as an author. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with the team on future publication projects.

The key distinction lies in durability and presentation. A paperback features a flexible, lightweight cover bound with adhesive, making it more portable and cost-effective. A hardcover, on the other hand, is bound with a rigid, cloth- or paper-wrapped board, offering greater longevity and a premium feel. While paperbacks are ideal for casual readers, hardcovers elevate the reading experience, making them perfect for collectors and high-end releases.
