: Re: Injecting creativity into a cookbook I'm a chef. I'm also a writer. It's inevitable that I would want to write a cookbook. In fact I've probably started a dozen that I just never got around

In addition to all the good answers above you could do the following:

Try to specialize your content to one (big) group of people. For example engineers. There is the "stereotype" that engineers love graphs and timelines and need explicitly clear instructions how to do things - and that they cannot cook very well.
Now what I (as an engineer) would love to see is a cooking-book, where I get the instructions in a way that I would get it from a fluid-dynamics book or from stack-overflow for example.

That would provide

Some fun to read it
unique character to the book
Maybe even easier and more efficient for that certain group

Now engineers are only an example. Groups I could think of would be musicians, other artics, athletes, construction workers, programmers

If you decide to do the programmer or engineer version - let me know please. I'll buy it.

EDIT: Or another aspect to think about is time. I tend to not have alot of time for cooking. So maybe you could think of "fast-tracks" for certain dishes. So some kind of a detailled version and a faster version. (but I don't know whether or not that is a taboo for real chefs or not ;) )
