self-publish a cookbook
Founder of The Cookbook Lab, Cookbook Author and Food Blogger
I'm the blogger behind A Duck's Oven and a four-time cookbook author. I self-published my first two books, Everyday Sous Vide and Sous Vide Meal Prep, and those books are a big reason I later landed two traditional deals for A Feast of Thorns and Roses and A Guide to the Kitchen Quadrant.
But figuring out all the steps to actually get my first self-published book out into the world was extremely confusing, which is why I created The Cookbook Lab to help other foodies have a step by step system (and a ton of support) to self-publish their own cookbook.

ENROLL IN THE COOKBOOK LAB
I bought The Cookbook Lab a little over a year ago and today I published my cookbook. I just wanted to say thank you for the fantastic course!!
I really could not have done it without your expertise. I had so many questions throughout the process and somehow the answer was always already in the course."

The Cookbook Lab is the ideal resource for those looking to self publish.
After such a headache and endless hours of cookbook research, I was so glad I finally found this! It went through every question I've had about the logistics of making a cookbook a reality.

The Cookbook Lab has honestly changed my life.
10 years I sat on the idea of a cookbook and only once I had the help of Chelsea and her experts, could I see exactly what my first cookbook would be. From researching your idea, to recipe development and testing, everything you need to know about designing the actual book, and how to print and sell it...The Cookbook Lab has it all. And best of all, with self-publishing, you are in control—you set the timeline, you make the decision, and, you keep the money!

The Cookbook Lab walked me through the self-publishing process one step at a time, eliminating the fear and overwhelm that typically comes with tackling a big project like a first cookbook.
It was thorough, practical, and the perfect tool to help make my dream cookbook a reality.
