Want to know a secret about those Amazon reviews?
Many of those reviews come from free days. The scamlets typically have many badly written 5 star reviews.
I once found a book with nothing but 5 star reviews. It was an "American" cookbook. Nearly every recipe was Asian.
Oh and there is no free ride.
It may be there aren't many books because the topic is easier and handier to google.
I own 1,973 cookbooks and several recipe collections + around 1000 ebook cookbooks.. If I am in a hurry I tend to google. Allrecipes is my go to site.
