About

Simple cookbooks, made with care

Well Done Guides is a small independent publisher in the Netherlands. We make the kind of cookbooks we wanted ourselves: short, practical and honest about how long things take.

What you will find here

40 Dinners in 30 Minutes is for weeknights: restaurant-worthy dinners that are on the table in half an hour, with a two-week meal plan and shopping lists. Fairy Lights & Full Plates is for Christmas: 36 easy recipes, a make-ahead countdown and three menus, each with a Christmas Day timeline. Every recipe has a full-page photo, metric and US amounts, numbered steps that say what to look for, a tip and nutrition per serving.

How the cookbooks are made

We write the recipes ourselves and check the amounts, timings and nutrition estimates. The food photos are created with AI image tools, which keeps the books affordable; your dish may look a little different, and the books say so on their credits page. The short videos on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube show the dishes step by step.

Buying and delivery

Every cookbook is a PDF. You pay through Payhip's secure checkout and get the download link by email within a minute. The file is yours to keep, on your phone, tablet or computer, and you can print the pages you cook from most.
