6	If you have a popular franchise, you probably have novels and action figures and [=DVDs=] and so on. What else will people buy?
7
8	A cookbook or recipe book is one option, especially, but not necessarily, if the franchise is known for FoodPorn or if it's a food-related show set in a ChezRestaurant or luxury hotel. The book may or may not be "in-universe"; that is a cookbook that exists in the setting. (If it is, there may or may not be some explanation for why it uses real world measurements and ingredients -- especially if the setting is known for ForeignQueasine.) An EdutainmentShow will also want to take this opportunity to talk to the kids in the audience about healthy eating, possibly in a VerySpecialEpisode about avoiding wicked junk food.
9
10	Sometimes the cookery book is officially released by the makers of the show or source work, or it can be fan-made. The official cookbooks vary in quality from lavish productions that make many explicit links to the foods and meals shown in-universe to the low-quality ExtrudedBookProduct that has only a loose connection to the source show, and which is trying to cash in on the show's popularity and ride on its coattails.
11
12	There is also a subset of {{Parody}} cookbooks with funny parallel {{Pun Based Title}}s. These are both loving and mocking in tone. They make fun both of the original work and cookbooks in general. The recipe names will most likely be punning, too. If they aren't officially licensed the authors will need legal advice on how to be able to refer to a copyrighted media property without having the license. In some jurisdictions, if you are parodying work X, you don't need permission from the copyright holders of work X.
