The Cookbook Caf�

I�ve been meaning to pop into the Cookbook Caf� for years. Ever since it started, really. I�ve read about it, and it seemed like such a wonderful place.. yet I never really found myself in that part of town. Until recently, that is. I stopped by for a quick espresso and something to eat before a work meeting. It�s a very cute little place, inspired by �Books for Cooks� in London. It has a lovely book section, with lots of fun cookbooks for sale. There are also some very comfortable-looking arm chairs, and I�m sure you could sit down and browse for quite a while.

However, most people seemed to be there for the food. I didn�t have time for lunch, but I grabbed a cake that had banana, chocolate and coconut. Very nice, and not too sweet. It was perfect with my espresso.

The Cookbook Caf� is run by two sisters, and I had the chance to talk a little bit to one of them. They have just finished their first cookbook, Tv� Systrars S�ta (Two sisters� sweet), which has tons of recipes for great cakes, cookies and other sweet things. It�s on my Christmas wishlist for sure! The sister I talked to � I�m sorry, I don�t know which one it was � told me that they were going to be on television in a few days, and that they were excited but a bit nervous. She seemed very sweet and friendly. I really look forward to my next visit � and I hope I have time to try the food!
