What actually drives the price
Printing a cookbook is not the same quote as a photo album. Ingredient lists and steps need a kitchen-readable format. Page count, color, binding, and where it is printed matter more than the cover title.
A local shop often bills a print-ready PDF, a minimum run, and paper options. Online print-on-demand prints one copy, with no stock.

Local shop, Lulu, Cloch: ballpark
A local digital or offset shop can make sense for dozens of copies if you already have a perfect PDF. For one or three family books, setup and minimums often raise the per-copy price.
General POD platforms (like Lulu) fit if you already deliver a file. You pay pages, paper, and shipping a la carte. Cloch is a French personalized cookbook, often a larger hardcover printed in France, mixing catalog recipes and your own, from about €36 depending on format.
Keep the budget under control
Lock content before you print: checking quantities is cheaper than a reprint. Skip empty decorative pages that inflate page count.
For a first book, 32 or 48 pages is usually enough. Reprint later instead of aiming at 120 pages on day one.
Create first, print second
The print-how-to guide covers format and paper. This page answers “how much”. The pricing page shows current amounts.
Open the Kulinia editor, add recipes (including from a photo), then order only when the book is ready.
