I am blown away by this. I too am a cook. I even have a fake cooking show, that has never really taken off (but was not intended to: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8DVX8jw55Mvp0UEs4yaCSQ for reasons explained on my stack. But now I have a serious idea for a cookbook, and I have even created a GPT of all the recipes that I can offer, as well as a printed version and/or a substack or something that will raise money to feed the poor here. I started this feeding project here with Pizza: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/nepalihipph but now I want to go hog wild, make my own pizza recipes for free delivery (instead of buying from PepsiCo), as well as some home-cooked recipes from Grandma and the old country, in Nepal! I use all Nepali ingredients for a twist, and have stories... lots of stories... but I have no clue on how to publish a book these days - one thing I do know, if you publish here first, NYT and others like them will not help you one lick. So, as they say here, ke garne (what to do, with a shoulder shrug and sigh).
