Hello food and cooking lovers!

Welcome to Cook the Books. The first store in New Zealand dedicated solely to books on the culinary arts.

We have the most comprehensive range of cookbooks in New Zealand. We also specialise in difficult to find and international titles. It doesn't matter if you are a home cook or professional chef, we have books that will add to your skills and provide the all important ingredient of inspiration. Check out our on-line catalogue to see a small selection of the titles we have available. If you can't see a title you are looking for, then please contact us, as we do not have every title in store displayed on-line.

We also have a demonstration kitchen and private dining space. We have book launches, author events, cooking demonstrations and by arrangement, private cooking classes. We have two professional chefs who will make your special event a memoroable one, and your private class an uplifting experience. Register for our "what's cooking" newsletter, and be amongst the first to hear about upcoming events and new titles and products.

At our store on Ponsonby Road in Auckland we have a range of food related greeting cards, high quality t-towels and cooking aprons. Our team are passionate and well-informed and will help you with selecting a special gift, or a title to enhance your confidence and skills.
