Publishers know they need to be on the iPad, but they don’t understand how to successfully get there. Instead they rely on the traditional layouts and experiences that have served them well in print.

I have an iPhone app called Sara’s Kitchen. 60 recipes, 60 photos, ten videos, all shot in my house. I did all the styling and all the propping. It was a lot of fun. And actually I did the app because I have a feeling β€” despite having this whole conversation with you about cookbooks β€” cookbooks are obsolete. I thought I should dip my toe into a different mediums.

One thing I do value is the Time Life series of Foods of the World. I don’t have all of them, but I have most of them. And even though they’re now 40, 50 years old, they’re still great primers on the cuisines of all of these countries. It’s like Waverly Root, who wrote about the food of Italy and the food of France, and that was a great place to start to sort of understand the foods of those countries and also the regional differences. Those definitely fulfill the Beard criteria of being important 15 years later. Those are still important 40 years later!

I feel like if a cookbook doesn’t have 200 recipes, it’s not a serious cookbook. Or at least 150. So the ones that have 60 recipes, unless it’s a very concentrated subject like lemons. You know what I mean? Or biscuits. If they don’t have 200 recipes, I sort of don’t take them seriously.

John Ingram on Publishers and Rearranging the Deck Chairs on the Titanic

“This is a great moment for publishers to really focus on what are the core reason for their existence, which I would contend is the creation and bringing to market of great content and then helping to find markets to sell that content to.”

All of the books are, at least in part, about finding new forms. Even if many of these authors can be very precise with their instructions, their books come off as being less concerned with offering readers specific recipes, and more interested in just getting people excited to cook. When the future of printed cookbooks is widely regarded to be one focused on art books, that approach makes total sense.
