This London Bookstore Lets You Try the Recipes Before You Buy 

Great Big Story

Finding a good recipe isn’t as simple as it should be. Photos can’t always be trusted and estimated cooking times can be a bit too optimistic for the everyday home cook. With endless options online and countless books available to buy, things can get a bit overwhelming.
In 1983 Heidi Lascelles came up with an intriguing concept, a bookstore with a small kitchen that could put cookbooks to the test. A different book would be chosen every day and recipes from that book would be cooked and served for lunch in-store. Regular customer Eric Treuille would frequent the shop hoping to get the attention of a charming staff member named Rosie and before he knew it, they would eventually take over running the store together.
Eric has been in the business long enough to know what makes a book special. Having cooked hundreds of recipes from different cuisines, tell him what you're looking for and he’ll be able to recommend the right book in a heartbeat. If you don’t know what you want, that’s not a problem either! Drop in for lunch and you might get to try something that surprises you, but… only if you stick to Eric’s rules…
What’s your favorite cookbook?

Lunch made by a French chef for a good price in a bookstore is my idea of Heaven.

У меня была идея, чтобы было небольшое кафе с пирожными вместе с цветочным магазином. Между кафе и цветочным магазином - стеклянная стена. Посетители сидят в кафе, а за стеклом - много красивых цветов и в магазин заходят покупатели и покупают цветы, потом видят, как люди едят булочки и идут в кафе. А люди из кафе видят цветы и выпив чай, заходят купить цветы.

I thought this would be "library that has a kitchen, so you can borrow the recipe, cook it, and see if you wanna buy the book" But instead it's "library, with a secret kitchen, and the staff chooses couple recipes, makes them, then serves them to the people" idk if im disappointed or not

Amazing idea! You don’t just read the cookbook, one gets a sample for the mouth. Since it’s a set menu, does he post the books that it came from?
@AstorReinhardt
@AstorReinhardt Год назад
Great idea...but I'd be worried about the no substitutions. If the menu/what is in the food is posted beforehand...that's ok then...you could skip a day that has something you can't eat. Like for me, it's dairy...so anything with dairy in it...I wouldn't be able to eat lol.
