This is my dream store. A well thought out culinary book selection that makes me swoon and is presented beside fantastic and often totally unnecessary doodads and trinkets. Their selection of le creuset cast iron makes me fantasize about braises,…More »

I head straight for the cookbook section and scour it for great deals. I always leave with 2 or 3 cookbooks. The layout of the section is quite brilliantly organized into type of cooking or region with all the celebrity chefs on the outermost left…More »
