This quaint little shop around the corner boasts the most amazing cookbook collection you've ever laid your hungry eyes on.  Tucked away in Noe Valley, shop owner Celia Sack really, really loves books, on food that is.  It is truly a gem. 

She has every new cookbook you might imagine but also an impressive collection of antiquarian cookbooks.  I mean, who wouldn't envy a person who gets to travel to Europe just to hunt for antique cookbooks?   

They also have super fun events, like fried chicken and pie baking contests. 

I could spend hours - hours! - here.  Maybe they're hiring?
