How to publish my own Cookbook?

Hi everyone,
I want to publish a cookbook in a very niche area (Don't want to reveal it here) but don't know where to start. I get rave reviews on my recipes, but the reason that I feel the push to do it is to help others who are struggling to find them within my niche.
Some of my recipes have been published in magazines like Ami.
What are some practical steps? Can I message Jewish publishers about this? Who could then handle any other aspect that comes along such as marketing?
Should I go to an independent publisher and then sell via Amazon?
I don't want to start posting recipes online that could potentially make it to the book.
Again, I'm not doing it for money purposes, I'm doing it since I see there is a real need and would be helpful to many. I wouldn't mind if I didn't receive profit.
If anyone has even a bit of advice, would be grateful.

.

I don't think you would be able to do it through any of the frum publishers without some followers already.
Hatzlachah and looking forward!

Wondering if it’s niche if you’re not better off creating a website/ recipe blog
You could do a subscription fee concept if you’re trying to make money off it or you could sell ad space.
You may need to advertise it etc but if it is niche then you should be able to attract the customer base that is interested in what you have to offer
