The Book Kitchen

The Book Kitchen, located at 151 High Street in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, is a unique institution that celebrates the fusion of culinary traditions with modern innovation. Join us for our April Demo & Dinner event, where we pay tribute to the 30th Anniversary Edition of Marcella Hazan’s iconic Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking.

Marcella Hazan, known as "the queen of Italian cooking," has left a lasting legacy with her timeless recipes and culinary wisdom that continue to inspire both novice cooks and seasoned chefs. Our Demo & Dinner events offer more than just a meal; they provide a journey through the pages of a cookbook and an opportunity to share in a culinary experience with others.

At The Book Kitchen, we aim to strengthen the connection between local farms and the dinner table, fostering a sense of community and promoting self-confidence through food. Our founder, Nicole, embarked on a culinary journey from Chicago to Mineral Point, where she met the owners of The Republic of Letters Bookstore, Keith Burrows and Leslie Damaso. Together, they created The Book Kitchen, a space where literature and cuisine come together harmoniously, offering a unique and enchanting experience for all.

We believe in the growth and development of our community, both economically and socially. The Book Kitchen is not just a teaching kitchen and bookstore; it is a hub for progress and positive change. Our mission is to help our community thrive, reach its full potential, and leave a lasting impact for future generations to be proud of. Join us at The Book Kitchen for a culinary and literary journey like no other.
