What the world has to say
"I will always support Kitchen Arts & Letters; I have ever since I was a young cook working at Restaurant Daniel. It’s so easy to find the most up-to-date cookbooks from Michelin chefs. They really understand that world. And I love earning those reward points! "
Howard K
"If you love people who love what they do, Kitchen Arts & Letters is a true gem. Their well-versed and kind staff cares about each customer’s satisfaction. It’s always a treat to browse in the thoughtfully-curated store, but their expertise shines by phone and e-mail, too. No matter where you are on your culinary journey, or just looking for a perfect gift, their recommendations are always spot on."
Amy S
"The insight and expertise is unmatched. The books I look for are very niche and rare and nerdy, so to have people who understand and have knowledge of these hard to find books is a welcome change from other bookstores. Whenever I’ve had any issues, questions or concerns, whoever answers the phone or emails has always responded promptly and with suggestions to solve any questions or issues. "
Ben B
"Whether it's the latest best selling cookbook or the most obscure historical culinary document, someone at Kitchen Arts and Letters is bound to know about it. I love supporting a local, independent store but what I love most is that when I call someone knowledgeable and helpful answers the phone and takes the time to assist me. When I place an order it is packed and shipped with the utmost care and respect. "
Taffy E
Kitchen Arts and Letters is an invaluable resource for all cooks. Friendly and expert, every cookbook question has an answer and a book recommendation. Kitchen Arts and Letters is my go to for all things food and food writing. "
