Appetite For Books

Just had dinner last night with an eclectic group of 9. Have been here many times since the opening about 10 years ago, although not in a while. Jonathan still maintains the same level of energy and engagement as he had on day 1. A great menu with unique combinations (beet humus, who would have thought?) and varied flavors was delivered with the usual deep knowledge, sharp wit and great stories. Always a pleasure to watch Jonathan cook and then enjoy the fruits of his labor. Oh, he had in stock two copies of a cookbook (Bird in the Hand) that was back order on Amazon and I needed them for the holidays.

The very best cookbook store in Montreal. And I'm not just saying....

Cookbook bookstore, with very knowledgeable staff. The owners are accomplished cooks who give classes and host writers talks and myriad special events. I came in looking for something on chinese home cooking and the guy was able to pull out about five books and give me a quick review of each of them. I came away with a gem. This is the kind of place that make you regret that you ever bought a book from Amazon.

Appetite For Books is such a charming cookbook shop with a kitchen in the back for workshops and classes. I got a chance to meet and chat with Tays when I visited and you can tell what a gem she and Jonathan have created. You'll find a rich assortment of curated cookbooks for whatever cuisine you're looking to explore. Be sure to look into the cookbook they just published: Montreal Cooks: A Tasting Menu From The City's Leading Chefs.
