Find the Legendary Cookbook by Maitre Delish

The Cookbook key item can actually be obtained beforehand when you first go through Creepy Steeple. Check your key items first before rushing off to Creepy Steeple for this quest in case you've unknowingly picked it up already. If you have it, simply hand it over to Zess T.

How to Get the Cookbook

If you don't have the Cookbook in your inventory, take the warp pipe to Twilight Town, then the warp pipe to Creepy Steeple.

At the entrance hall of Creepy Steeple, you should see a small, rectangular hole at the bottom of the wall. You can roll through this hole using Mario's Tube Mode ability.

This hidden room contains all sorts of goodies including a Star Piece, the Ice Smash badge, a Shine Sprite, the quiz Boo, and, of course, the Cookbook in the right chest. Once you get this Cookbook, give it to Zess T. for your rewards.
