When do you need it?
I reviewed the material - the structure of the recipes is done very neatly, it will be pleasant to work with such content.
I have extensive experience in formatting cookbooks for Amazon (KDP).
P.S. I have a paid Midjourney account, I can create images for the book if needed, but that's a separate matter.
I am ready to start immediately after discussing the details.
… The amount and deadlines will be discussed.
I am available, feel free to reach out!
Best regards, Maxim.

I will do the layout of the book for publication on Amazon KDP in two formats: • Kindle eBook (reflowable) • Paperback (print-ready PDF).
I will prepare two templates, and based on the chosen template, I will do the layout of the book. I will deliver the finished files after checking on Amazon, and I will also provide the source file (I work in Adobe InDesign).
❓❓❓
Do you have all the photos added in Word? Or do you have these photos as separate files?

I am ready to professionally prepare your cookbook for publication on Amazon KDP in two formats — Kindle (reflowable EPUB) and Paperback (print-ready PDF).
I have systematic experience working with large texts (30,000+ words), structured materials, lists, tables, and technically correct document formatting. I work carefully with attention to detail and have a good understanding of Amazon KDP requirements (clickable TOC, correct heading structure, trim margins, headers, numbering, clean PDF without errors).
Cookbooks have their specifics (ingredients, step-by-step blocks, tips, tables) — I will maintain the logic of the structure and make the book convenient for the reader in both Kindle and print.
I am ready to start immediately after agreeing on the details. I would be happy to make your book professional and competitive on Amazon.
