4 Ingredients
[edit]Kim McCosker has been called "cooking's J. K. Rowling."[2] After being turned down by every major publisher in Australia, she self-published her first cookbook, 4 Ingredients, which went on to become the best selling self-published book in Australian history, selling 400,000 copies in 2007 alone and placing second in overall sales only to Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows released the same year.[2]
4 Ingredients has gone on to reach a total sales mark of over 3 million copies.[3] The initial 4 Ingredients book has spawned 37 cookbooks.
The collective sales across all titles now exceeds 9 million copies. The brand extended to a cookware range, 4 Ingredients iPhone app[1] and a social media reach, with an active daily presence on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and its own website.
The popularity of the 4 Ingredients series has also led to a 4 Ingredients television series, hosted by McCosker and broadcast in 24 countries including Australia, Africa, the UK, and New Zealand.
