I'm just your average programmer and so I don't know much about "marketing strategy", but I can write you what I would buy, and why.
Basically, I've tried dozen cookbooks but at this moment I have only one. The title in Polish is "Dania trzyskładnikowe", which roughly translates to "3-ingredient dishes". And they really consist of only 3 main ingredients (spices are extra, but that's OK).
The reason I have it is that I'm pretty impatient and disorganized, I forget to buy stuff, but I still would like to cook if only possible, for health and budget reasons.
Now, the book covers a wide array of dishes--breakfasts, lunches, desserts, with different groups of ingredients. Some healthy, some totally unhealthy, some need to be prepared for 2-3 hours, some require only 15 minutes.
So I would be up for say a book about lunches (or whatever the up-to-date word for "obiad" is :)), that can be prepared using 3-4 easy to buy ingredients, in some constrained, not too long, amount of time, and ideally with a more or less constrained health impact (say: a given weight of unhealthy fats, ideally less than 20g).
Now, I would find the book by typing "Cookbook for ADHD" in Google :). Currently, there's e.g. [1], but the dishes are still a bit complex for me, and I can tell straight away that not all of them are cholesterol-friendly.

Of course I could assemble a set of recipes that fit my requirements for free, but I would still pay $10 for a proper book, as like books better than loose sheets of paper. I'm not sure about $20, as that would 2x the price of an average book here in Poland. But I don't rule it out--I buy books from Amazon that cost $20, so I guess I would decide based on the "subjectively perceived value".
BTW if there are say 5+ recipes in your book that meet my "requirements" above, let me know and I will buy it :).
- brunooliv 3y agoHey, There are definitely recipes there, I'd wager even closer to 10 recipes, that meet your requirements :D And I honestly think you'll love the book given your requirements ;) PS: I'm also a programmer eheh
- TomaszZielinski 3y agoOK, I'm sold :) But, I've searched for it on amazon.pl and it's not there. Not sure how it works, but so far all books for amazon.com that I wanted, were there. Is there a checkbox somewhere that you can click and put it on amazon.pl as well? (The reason I use .pl and not .com is that it allows convenient local payment and delivery methods.)
- brunooliv 3y agoHere it is: https://www.amazon.pl/dp/B0CNNLCPZ4 https://www.amazon.pl/dp/B0CNNLCPZ4 My guess is that probably the search bar isn't indexing all locations properly as I've checked all the checkbox I needed... This might be a problem for discoverability, I'll need to investigate
- TomaszZielinski 3y agoAhh, I didn't know that product IDs are the same on all Amazon sites, thanks! OK, so the delivery is supposed to happen on Friday :)
- brunooliv 3y agoI hope you'll enjoy the recipes!! Lmk! Thanks a lot!
- TomaszZielinski 3y agoSo I got the book today, and I cooked the tuna pasta. I admit I was kinda skeptical at first (for no specific reason), but gave it a shot and it was a hit! Everyone (including me :)) said it was very tasty--and we actually meant it, we have "radical candor" at the table :)) And the material proof is that there's nothing left, it's all gone. BTW there's a small technical issue--there are no page numbers in my copy (which was printed on demand, here in PL). I guess maybe they were too close to the edges and got cut?
