Cookbooks
| As Personal Chefs, we have a ready-made excuse to buy
as many cookbooks as we like. What a luxury! Better still,
we get to use them. We're always browsing the bookstore and on the lookout for award-winning recommendations. To keep our costs down, we'll often borrow cookbooks from the library to get a sense of the quality before purchasing (usually on eBay). We also subscribe to many culinary magazines. You can find these on our Cooking Links page. Here are some current favorites:
