Books for Cooks is a unique bookstore in the Notting Hill neighborhood of London. The two walls are lined with shelves of cookbooks--one half by subject and the other by country. In the back is a small kitchen. Since its founding in 1983, the store has offered professional and amateur chefs the ultimate reference library for recipes, many of which it prepares in the kitchen and serves four days a week to up to forty customers. Each meal costs a mere £7 ($8.84 USD).
The lunch program is a great draw for customers to the shop. It's a way to bring people together over a shared love for food. You might as well join the other customers for lunch because you can't shop online at Books for Cooks; you have to go in-person and smell the kitchen in person.
