With seats are filling up quickly for classes at Cook (253 S. 20th St.), it may prove difficult to snag a spot, but Audrey Taichman is making it easy to get your hands on reads, treats and gifts from local artisans and chefs. The demo kitchen venue features a collection of food-centric cookbooks and memoirs, including tomes from Philly's own Jose Garces, Marc Vetri and Georges Perrier. If you need something more edible, opt for John and Kira's gourmet honey caramel chocolates, or strawberry balsamic jam, orange marmalade and spicy Dijon from La Copine, all made exclusively for Cook. They're also hawking hand-crafted kitchen gadget-inspired necklaces from Maggie Huth's Bathtub Jungle (she's also a server at Audrey Claire), custom screen-printed bags and tea towels from Kaye Rachelle Designs and potted herbs/plants, like rosemary and scallions, from Grace Wicks, owner of Graceful Gardens. Tools like whisks, spatulas, colanders and Cook-branded salt and pepper shakers round out the boutique's stock. The shop side of Cook is open Tuesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and by appointment.
