Cookbooks on KDP teaches a proven system that works
It's not complicated if you follow the process we teach inside the program where you have plenty of time to follow the process and publish. KDP stands for Kindle Direct Publishing. This is the print-on-demand publishing arm of Amazon. When you publish a book on Amazon, it is not only for sale immediately on Amazon, but you are not spending large sums of money to get books printed. You, your customers, and your family can order books anytime from Amazon. KDP is an easy way to get your recipes and stories shared in a book.Â
Publishing a book on Amazon is free. All you do is pay for printing when you order copies of the book to give away to family and friends. Printing costs depend on the page count of your book and using their convenient cost calculator you can see how much it will cost to print your book AND how much of a royalty you will make from the sale of each book.
Absolutely! By committing to each training session and completing the weekly homework, you can achieve your goal of self-publishing your recipes in a book by the end of the program.Â
We meet LIVE on Zoom and replays are posted in within 24 hours.
The next group starts in September 2025
This program will work for you. You can preserve and share your family recipes in a cookbook that creates a legacy for years to come.Â
This course does not cover recipe writing.Â
Attending LIVE classes is not a requirement for achieving results. Many past members love the community created through this program and the opportunity to see what others create, but it's your choice whether you attend LIVE or not.
We will collaborate in a step-by-step manner, and the assignments will aid you in completing your book.
We make cookbook design easy using templates and Canva or Word. This course does require computer work, but we make the tech as easy as possible.
You will produce a print book containing your recipes and stories. To do this, you need to have at least 25 recipes to publish.Â
Photos are certainly encouraged, although including photos in a recipe book is optional. If you don't have or don't want to use photos, free graphics or illustrations can be used instead. For photos, many past students have used the camera on their phones to take high-quality photos. Alternatively, they use photos previously taken for the blogs.
Yes, we will schedule office hours during the program. Maggie teaches in a manner that allows time for you to interact and get your work reviewed and your questions answered as you move through the course.
Sign up! Enroll in Cookbooks on KDP. (Pick from easy payments or full pay). We will meet LIVE on Zoom the week of September 8th for our first class.Â
You'll have ongoing access to all materials and recordings.Â

This was a well-planned, well-organized, thorough, well-executed, highly effective, educational, and enjoyable course. I'm thrilled with my results, which go beyond producing my family cookbook. I'm proud of myself for working through unfamiliar technology and for stepping up to the challenge of designing a book myself. THANK YOU! "

Writing cookbooks and helping passionate cooks and bakers turn their recipes into published books has been my life's calling.
I believe in the transformative power of cookbooks—to preserve family memories, share beloved recipes, and create meaningful connections through the act of writing and cooking.
