We hope this post has given you inspiration for the title of your next cookbook, no matter food concept you’ve got in mind.

Cooking Up a Name that Sells

There are a couple recommended guidelines that apply to creators that hope to sell a lot of copies of their cookbook. The primary tip is to make a niche cookbook that speaks directly to a specific market.

A good example of this is Daniel Walker’s Against All Grains that shares grain-free recipes for people with specific diets. This may seem like a narrow topic, but Walker’s publisher had a reported 200,000 copies produced in anticipation of the hit book. If you have an angle for your cooking guide that isn’t available anywhere else, it can bolster sales.

One common approach to identifying a unique cookbook idea is to draw from personal experience. Did you grow up in a rural or unique area of the country with unique recipes? Have you traveled and discovered flavors that aren’t popular in the United States? Did your grandmother have a pie recipe that’s to die for? Do you have any dietary restrictions or food groups you can’t eat? These can all server as inspiration for the next great cookbook.

Remember, you don’t need to be a globally recognized chef these days to produce a hardcover book with professional-level photography. Anyone with the desire and a unique book idea can create a high-quality publication thanks to print on demand and technology advances.
