Hey, Nonny.

I am in the camp of not knowing how she could capitalize on her
efforts. Think about it... what recipe is so entirely unique and
universally that it could be sold on its own? (We'll set aside the
fact you are talking about liver, which I do like, but I am a
minority).

This is like Granny's brownie recipe, Nonny's Ranch spiced chicken
recipe, or any of the billion casserole recipes from the midwest.

In this day and age recipes are traded freely, cookbooks are published
on the cheap and are plentiful thanks to the proliferation of all the
cooking shows. In our fair city we still have about three or four
annual cookbooks published by churches and civic clubs that ask for
your recipes (for free) along with letters of recommendation. Only
the owner of the book gets any proceeds. The contributors get
bragging rights, and there are usually about 200 or so recipes handed
over for that payment.

So one recipe, one time... I don't know. If she wanted to compete
she might get something out of it. On the other hand competing is
expensive and will probably require travel, etc.

Then too, there's the fact it's chicken liver....
