We’ve been talking about the types of non-fiction eBooks that might help a new indie author break into self-publishing. One area that has a lot of potential, a sort of sub-genre of the how-to eBook, is the non-fiction recipe eBook. Given the prediction that cookbooks will become extinct because of eBooks and apps, now may be the best time to publish your non-fiction recipe eBook.
Perhaps you’ve been gathering recipes for generations or you just love improvising in the kitchen. Recipe eBooks are extremely popular, helping would-be cooks not only fuel their inspiration but do so without cluttering their kitchens with a stack of print books.
If cooking and creating are in your blood, a recipe eBook can help you share your gift with the world. You can categorize recipes, and depending on how many you have to include, either create a series of non-fiction recipe eBooks, or create sections of one eBook for each category.
Categories of recipes to consider putting in your non-fiction recipe eBook include:
- Appetizers and party trays
- Entrees
- Soups and salads
- Desserts
- Crock pot recipes
- Casserole dishes
