The Kitch is a cookbook publishing brand with three fully owned titles and roughly 14,000 finished, retail-ready books. This is a pure asset play: the asking price sits below the cost of simply reprinting the inventory, and the intellectual property, brand, and website come with it. The catalog: of the most durable cookbook categories, and the on-air credibility is a built-in marketing hook.
Quotes from celebrity chefs endorsing the author/book. All three titles are owned outright. No author royalties, no licensing fees, no revenue share — the buyer keeps 100% of every sale and can reprint at will.
Included in the sale: The business ran as direct-to-consumer and has been dormant for the past couple of years while the owner focused on other companies — the titles didn't fail, they were shelved due to lack of time. With approximately $700,000 in retail value sitting finished on pallets, a buyer with an existing sales channel — Amazon, TikTok Shop, e-commerce, liquidation, or gift/specialty wholesale — can start converting inventory to cash immediately, with zero production lead time or upfront print investment. Ideal buyer: an Amazon or TikTok Shop book seller, a liquidator, an independent publisher adding owned backlist, or a food-space content creator who wants physical products to sell.
