Ooo, Havarti and sourdough... Bobbie, it's too bad you live so far away. I'd come over for lunch a lot oftener.

A TV show would be a lot of work, but also a lot of (shall we say) just plain fun. The cookbook does take less resources. You don't even need a professional bookbinder; any good print shop can do it (I've done it, when I worked for a newspaper that did a lot of job printing--but I don't have the machinery myself). Beyond that, it's a matter simply of typesetting the product and getting it to the printer in a form he or she can use.

When I was city manager in Union, OR (2004-06), the Grassroots Festival committee put out a local cookbook as a fundraiser. We sold 'em for $4 each (which I think means they cost $2 each to produce--so it doesn't cost that much to do). My cookies and my fish lasagna were in that one, too, by the way.
