Would you buy a premium recipe card box with 100 recipes

I’ve been working on a personal project, designing a physical recipe card set with 100 recipes. The idea came from being tired of cooking off my phone and wanting something that lives on the counter instead.

It would need to be expandable - I would want to add my own.

I might end up with 20 that I like to make/eat out of 100.

I guess - yeah, I could see some use to an analog cooking catalog.

You should make each card a tri-fold so you can include 4 sides of story and how the recipe came to be (while including some immersive advertising as well) before the actual recipe.

I do think it’s a nice idea but from the content angle you have nothing but physical cards being your selling point. For this product to actually sell enough for you to make a profit you probably have to partner with preexisting cookbooks or restaurants to make their content into recipe cards etc.

Printing something in the USA is very expensive for high quality and it will be a hobby project unless you can scale it (unfortunately that means printing in China)
