> KDP allows you to self-publish eBooks, paperbacks, and hardcover books for free. We give you direct access to your book on Amazon, and allow you to create a product detail page for your book. It also gives you the option to expand your book’s availability on a global scale, making it more accessible for readers around the world. Publishing with KDP gives you full rights to your book, which is not something a traditional publishing house typically allows.

I don't think Chef bryan would resort to a "Vanity-Press" type 
publisher.  Chef would like to be recognized as he is, without fakery. 
He is genuine in his love and devotion to his book.  I don't think 
you've grasped this yet.
