Professional cookbook formattingis on its way
No web tool handles cookbooks properly - recipe cards break, photo layouts get mangled, ingredient columns collapse. We're building it right. Be first to try it.
What cookbook formatting will include
Recipe card layout with ingredient columns and step-by-step format
Photo-forward pages for food photography
Multi-column ingredient lists, automatic servings scaling
Index generation (recipe names, ingredients, dietary tags)
KDP Print specs (bleed, trim, margins) - ready to upload
EPUB version for digital cookbooks and Apple Books
Why no one has built this yet
Vellum is Mac-only and designed for fiction. Atticus is a word processor, not a layout tool. Reedsy has 3 themes, none for illustrated books. Adobe InDesign costs $55/month and has a two-year learning curve.
Cookbook authors - indie publishers selling on Amazon KDP and direct - currently pay $500–$2,000 to designers or fight with InDesign. We're building a web tool that handles it in minutes.
