Philadelphia’s Award Winning Chefs and Restaurants Host the World’s Leading Cookbook Authors
As The New York Times wrote, “[t]he emphasis…is on the word ‘collaborative.’'' The Book and The Cook participating restaurants present special meals inspired by the writings of their guest authors. Each offers an unique opportunity to meet the guest author, purchase a book, and enjoy great food prepared by the author and the host chef.

The Cookbook Authors Are Coming...
Cookbook authors will again pair with Philadelphia's world-class restaurants to create the annual culinary party, The Book and The Cook. Traveling from near and far, from America's Pacific Rim to Japan, from New Orleans to Beijing - and from Philadelphia! - these authors will team with their host chefs for meals that are sure to delight.
...And Bringing Their Books!

The Book and The Cook dining events offer a great opportunity to build your cookbook collection with the added pleasure of the author's signature and personal message. Thinking of special gifts for the holidays? Plan to purchase books for those foodies on your gift list and have the author add a special message just for them.
