I bought years ago hardcover notebooks and created for each of my children times four a handwritten cook and baking book illustrated with poems,quotes and drawings.The recipes are from Germany,Austria and the Punjab/India region.I wanted to give them something,a memory to last,all their favorite meals,sweets and treats.Memories of good food while visiting their grandparents from both sides.I still have my mothers handwritten cooking/baking book and I so treasure it!
I really like these titles....
1."Kochen mit Liebe"/Cooking with Love
2."Frisch auf den Tisch"/Fresh on the Table
3.Herzliche Grüße aus meiner Küche/Greetings from my Kitchen
4.Schmankerl from around the World/Special Delight from around the World

If you wrote one? In other words what kind of cookbook would it be?
Mine would be The Lazy Cook or possibly, The Hands Off Cook .
I tend to shove things in the oven or Instant Pot. I don’t mind the prep work, but have no patience for constant stove tending.
What would the title of your cookbook be?
I did write a cookbook/diet plan, That was 16 pages long (full-size typewriter pages). I called it "The High-Performance Diet". It was aimed mainly at athletes or those who worked out regularly, to help control their weight and become stronger and healthier. I don't circulate it anymore and never tried to make it a commercial project. I never read cookbooks, but wonder how many include a diet plan and advice about that?
My plan is obsolete now, as far as my personal diet is concerned, as it emphasized eating a lot of complex carbohydrates, such as unrefined grains and beans and called for minimizing fat consumption. Both these things have fallen out of favor with me and a lot of other people in the years since. But it might still be a good guideline for a younger and very hard-training athlete, who needs those complex carbohydrates for sustained energy the next day.
For example, a marathon runner who loads-up on spaghetti the night before a race, might do better eating whole-wheat pasta, as it would digest more slowly, giving better energy during a long race. The fiber in it also retains more water and might prevent diarrhea, that plagues some marathoners. There could also be a factor that would work against dehydration.

I eat whole grain foods frequently, but I am no athlete. My favorite rice is brown basmati, and our everyday bread is whole wheat. We also eat beans. Your training diet sounds good for its purpose. Ideas change about good nutrition.
