First off a little background. I am a lowly 23 year old line cook, I think I am pretty decent at what I do, but I have a long long way to go. I think that I have the skills to be a sous chef in probably 1.5 to 2 years.
Now, what I came to say is that my family has mentioned to me on more than one occasion that I should write a cookbook focusing on good food for cheap and how to save money in the kitchen without buying bs frozen food or convenience food. I consider myself an optimist and am never scared of failing at things, I've done it many of times. So, I am seriously considering it.
So, how many of you have ever written a cookbook or been part of the process? What are the chances of it being published? Does it require a large investment? Would people not take me serious because of my age regardless of the quality of the book? Is there a lot of money in this? What kind of websites should I look at? Is it required that you make a name for yourself first? I am a blank page on this matter and would greatly appreciate any input that you culinary professionals may have on this matter.
Grazie a mille
