Cooking and Food Books: Cookbooks and Recipe Books for Every Kitchen

A well used cookbook has stains on its best pages. That is the charm of cooking books: unlike a recipe on a phone, they stay open on the counter, they do not lock themselves halfway through, and they get handed down. This page is the starting point for food lovers. Our recipe books are kept on the shelves linked below, where you can buy cookbooks online.

Where to Find Cookbooks

If you are looking for a particular chef or cuisine and cannot find it, tell us through the Request a Book page.

Which Kind of Cookbook Do You Need?

  • For beginners: choose a basic book with short ingredient lists, step by step pictures and everyday dishes.
  • For Indian home cooking: Indian recipe books that cover dal, sabzi, roti, rice and a few festive dishes will be used every week.
  • For baking: baking books must give exact weights and oven temperatures. Pictures of the finished cake help a great deal.
  • For healthy eating: look for books written with a nutritionist, with simple swaps for daily meals.
  • For children: first cookbooks with no flame recipes make a lovely holiday activity.

How to Judge a Recipe Book

Before you buy, read the description for three things. Are the ingredients easy to find in an Indian market? Are quantities given in cups and spoons, in grams, or both? And is the food the kind your family already enjoys? A beautiful book of dishes you will never cook is only a picture book. The best cooking books for beginners are the plain, reliable ones.

Cookbooks as Gifts

A cookbook is a warm, personal gift for a newly married couple, a student moving into a first flat, or a parent who has just discovered baking. Pair it with a handwritten family recipe tucked inside the cover, and it becomes something they keep.
