Cooking

cooking
We have over 200 cookbooks and books about food. Most are in Dewey 641, and most have the subject tracing cookery or some variation of that, for example Cookery (Vegetables) - History. Yes, not "cooking" but "cookery". Don't even try to search for cooking, or cookbook or cook book. Just remember, look around 641 or ask at the desk for directions.

Julia Child's classic The way to cook. We do have this.
