Cookbook guides
Every recipe project starts a little differently. Choose the guide that matches the job in front of you, then open a free cookbook starter when you are ready to collect recipes in one place.

When to open the starter
You do not need every chapter planned. Open the free starter, save your private dashboard link, add one real recipe, and invite contributors when the project has enough shape for them to understand.
Begin with one recipe
The starter is free while you collect the first recipes. Upgrade later only when you need more room or a clean PDF copy to save from your browser.
