Specialist cookbook shop in Notting Hill with an incredible selection of culinary books from around the world. The tiny test kitchen at the back prepares dishes from featured books for lunch each day. A paradise for food lovers and home cooks.
Arrive between 12-1pm to try the daily changing lunch menu cooked from recipes in the books - it sells out quickly and you can browse while you eat.
