Creating cookbooks without a workstation server

I have a chef server and a chef client. Is it possible to create a cookbook without a workstation server? Directly on chef server?

Workstation means workstation (your PC) and not server.

You cannot edit cookbooks directly in the server, which (like most modifications that you make by editing in the Web UI) render the concept of Chef and Infrastructure as Code useless.

Please think about your workflow and let somebody explain you the ideas behind Chef.

EDIT: Actually, the parts of the workstation role which result in updates to the Chef server should be done by a CI server/pipeline. Manually uploading cookbooks, data bags etc. to the Chef server is explained kind of everywhere. But it should be more of treated as a software project/artifact.
