In the digital age, many have clamored that the online blog is going to overtake the cookbook when it comes to finding recipes. Indeed, there is no shortage of online cooking blogs out there, and a few of them even manage to convert into cookbooks.

However, there is a change in the tide and would-be cookbook authors need to respond by emphasizing what cookbooks can do better than blogs.
