Cookbook Shops

Nothing excites us more at SAVEUR than cookbooks, old and new. On every editor's desk sit piles of volumes—everything from Modernist Cuisine to Larousse, The Fat Duck Cookbook to the Mom 100 Cookbook. We love buying them online, but to us, there's something incredibly special about spending an afternoon in a brick and mortar shop, rummaging through the stacks. Here are TK NUMBER of our favorite stores with some of the best, and most rare, collections of cookbooks in the United States.
