Books for Cooks

One of the best bookshops in the world. I've shopped here multiple times, and every experience has been excellent. The owner/operators always extend gracious hospitality, and their range is unsurpassed. I can't commend this business highly enough.Thankyou Books for Cooks!

Great store. I was looking for gift and had quite a hard request but little to no knowledge. The person at the counter took a lot of time to show me around, show me various alternatives and explained a lot to each book. I actually learned some interesting facts. Defenetly recommending this store.

Such a lovely cook book shop! Lots of interesting book and lovely owner. Bought a Lisbonian cook book. Will come back for more nice books.

For those of you who love reading books and cooking, here is a company I can recommend.Books for Cooks: new and old books about wine, food and the culinary arts - run by the formidable pairing of Tim and Amanda. Some of you may remember their shop used to be in Fitzroy, but from 2018 moved to their current location.They are situated in Queen Victoria Market 115-121 Victoria St and currently, orders through their website pick up or delivery. *They have free delivery if you are in their 5km lockdown radius and not only that - they hand-deliver their order. Mine, delivered in COVID-19 safe packaging came on a Saturday evening - now that is dedication. Thank you.I ordered: Melanie Dunea's - 'My Last Supper - the next course', which I have wanted for a while as it delves into what famous Chefs would eat and so forth for their last meal. Plus one recipe and great profile photos of each Chef taken by Melanie, a professional Photographer.Drop into these guys once we are out of lockdown or hop online and see what gems you can find! Something for everyone.

If you are looking for a cookbook, this is the place to go. Staff are helpful, store is so fun for even browsing. Highly recommend.

An amazing bookstore for cooks and food lovers! I’m a professional chef and had a great time browsing the store and finding books, thanks to the expert staff.

Amazing little shop with all kinds of books around the topics of cooking, baking, food and drinks; from all areas of the world, and with a selection that goes from vintage rare-to-find (maybe nostalgic to some) to modern day. The location next to the market makes it ideal to check it out while shopping or visiting the market.

I spent almost an hour inside. The most enjoyable spot.

I went to this beautiful place almost seven years ago now. Was just trying to search for a similar shop here in Devon, UK… and Books for Cooks popped up. Memory flashback with nothing but positivity for this place; a real place of comfort for a solo traveller. Wish we had a store like yours here in the Southwest of England.

Pre-ordered a book for, was told it would be in on the Mon/Tues before Xmas. I can understand delays happen on orders/deliveries but no follow up call that week or since. Not good customer service
