The prices are very good (20 to 75% off) and selection is outstanding. They have over 150 books on Chocolate alone. One of the last books I bought was " Brownies to die for " by Bev Shaffer. I've tried two recipes so far, one cake like and the other fudgey, both great. My joy of baking and love of great chocolate keeps smiles on my friends and familys faces.; ▶ Reply to This

However, there is nothing like going to a bookstore and browsing at a large selection, looking through the books and then either buying or purchasing it online.

A bookstore I enjoy going to is Kitchen and Letters on the Upper East Side.

There is also a tiny bookshop on West 10th Street devoted to cookbooks of all kinds.; ▶ Reply to This

If you find something from this place, I'll order it in for you and ship it directly to your door. They've got a ton of books, molds, supplies. All you have to do is call or email Trifles with an order and I will get it to you ASAP. Naturally, you might be able to track down some of these items in a supply store in your own state, but if you really want something specific, just give me the item numbers and I'll have it to you in 10-14 days.

They only sell to stores like mine, so they won't sell directly to you unless you own your retail or food business with a sales tax number.
