Kitchen Books

“Kitchen books” because not all of these books are “cook books.” Most are, but others are about cooking (Capon), how to cook (Childs, Professional Chef), eating (Capon, Stern), about food (Colman, Larousse), about particular foods (Bridges), food and cooking science (McGee), or recipes for foods no one eats any more or even wants to eat (Grossman & Thomas).
