Most of the advice given to aspiring authors is completely wrong for cookbooks. Food publishing has always had different requirements and you need to know what they are before you can seal the deal with agents, editors and publishers.

- Are you trying to convince readers they need to change their actions or point of view?
- Does it require location photography or picture research and if so, how much?
We've pulled together 20 different types of cookbook, from impulse gift purchases to weighty manifestos.
