A plan to sell cookbooks: give away recipes online

03 November 2008 | 17:24 - By Stefano Boscutti

There is such a thing as a free lunch - or at least a free recipe - but the founders of Cookstr, a new website, hope that home cooks will eventually pay.

Although the internet is already flooded with recipes, Will Schwalbe, who stepped down as editor in chief of Hyperion Books in January, is starting Cookstr to showcase the recipes of star chefs like Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson and Mario Batali, as well as those of less-well-known but highly regarded cookbook writers.  The idea, ultimately, is to sell copies of these authors' books.
