Cookbook Lab Chronicles, Episode 4: How Many Recipes?

hi, i'm chelsea!

You'll find me just outside of Portland, Oregon, hopefully in my kitchen with a big glass of Willamette Valley red wine and sous viding salmon my husband caught that week, unwinding after a day of recipe development, food photography, and marketing freelance work. Say hi on Instagram: @the.cookbook.lab

What I covered today:

Going back through The Cookbook Lab content was a good reminder for me – can’t wait for you to see it!
What’s the “right” number of recipes? The minimum? The average?
Reminder that your cookbook doesn’t just contain recipes necessarily, lots of different types of valuable content
A peek inside other cookbooks to see how many recipes they have and other content they include
