Kitchen Arts & Letters, books on food and drink

"A cookbook shop offering cooking inspiration in multiple languages." - Kevin Chau

"As of this writing, the New York culinary bookstore Kitchen Arts & Letters stocks Martha Stewart’s Cakes (2013), Cookie Perfection (2019), and Fruit Desserts (2021) (all three are on backorder). According to managing partner Matt Sartwell, Stewart’s baking books in particular “have always had a good rep[utation] and we stock them and sell them really well.”" - Bettina Makalintal

"Eric Ripert's favorite store for cookbooks with an ultimate selection." - Nancy DePalma

"For over 20 years, food academics, serious chefs, and home cooks alike have all come here to stock their kitchen bookshelves. In fact, Julia Child used to shop here. Besides the seemingly endless supply of cookbooks, academic journals, and food memoirs, it’s owner Nach Waxman and his team that make it really special. Well-informed but not intimidating, they’re happy to help you find the right book, or will track it down if they don’t have it."
