The Cookbook Cafe

The Cookbook Cafe takes its name from the Cookbooks that line its walls and great chefs that compiled them: Names such as Bobby Flay, Alice Waters, Skye Gingell and Ottolenghi. But if these books have provided much inspiration, it is the kitchen that provides its beating heart. For it is here that these pages come to life, it is here that the magic happens, here that the experience shows and the love is added.

It is in this hive of activity and creativity, that falafels and their twelve ingredients are prepared – they take twenty four hours from start to finish – the House secret sauce for the Cookbook Burger gets its nine different ingredients, the hummus is made from scratch, aubergines baked for 12 hours, and beetroot, yogurt, chili, garlic, date syrup and olive oil are combined to make our beet puree. Flatbreads are made daily. Only artisan bread -from the Firehouse bakery- is bought in.
