books for cooks

A cosy shop lined from top to bottom with cookbooks... and smells of the lastest creations wafting out from the kitchen tucked away in the back. What a perfectly magical idea, taking recipes and whipping them into life for all to taste.  I wandered in, too early as always for lunch which starts at 12 and gazed at the four plump warm cakes sitting on the counter.  Each with their own little tag stating which cookbook and recipe was followed. I recognized a cake which I had made from Green and Blacks - Chocolate Salt Caramel Torte a firm favourite. I have been advised, if coming for lunch to arrive at 11.45 to ensure a seat.  The menu changes daily and consists of a starter, main and dessert from those millions of cookbooks.  One day I'll time it perfectly but in the meantime I'm going to daydream about which cooking class to take... http://www.booksforcooks.com
