I've been in twice now, and the owner, Matt, is incredibly kind and helpful. The first time my partner was buying a gift for me, and Matt helped us land on a classic Italian cookbook. This afternoon, I went in because I was searching for a manual of sorts, something that would help me learn technique and how-to's. After Matt asked a few questions to narrow down what I was looking for, he compiled a list of 7 or 8 books, encouraged me to sit and relax and sift through, and told me a bit about each one so I could make the best decision. Once I narrowed it down to two, I was having a difficult time deciding...the Italian cookbook with beautiful photos and recipes I was dreaming of making at home, or the once-stop-shop cookbook with technique and information galore. I was torn...but ultimately he helped me make the decision by encouraging me to get the Italian cookbook, but gifted me for free a STACK of Cook's Illustrated magazines so I could still glean education, and apply it to my recipes. I was so floored by his kindness! I had such a fantastic experience, and it's always so helpful being led by someone who is a knowledgeable expert in their field. I'm very excited to return for my next cookbook, as well as cooking and technique classes held their in the future!!
