Pricy books! At least when you cross reference the ISBN online and find the price is 1/5th of what’s listed. Friends got a Mexican cookbook (signed by famous person to the Mexican government) and a traditional Indian cookbook. Also, the orange kitty (G) is the sweetest little guy ever.

Don is such a friendly owner, always eager to chat about his collection of culinary—and cultural—knowledge. And the experience of browsing his ever changing shelves is like traveling through time and space, a real marvel every time.

The coolest cookbook store EVER. This is foodie heaven. I almost can’t pick. So many fun and interesting cookbooks. The owner seems to know a story about every title. Check it out!!! Fun book store.
