Kookboeken, iedereen heeft ze wel ergens in huis staan maar niet iedereen gebruikt ze. De meest bekende sterrenchefs hebben allemaal wel een kookboek met de gerechten die iedereen wel kan klaarmaken. In een kookboek staan, behalve recepten, informatie over het gebruik van een oven, definities of omschrijvingen van bereidingstechnieken en gewichtstabellen.
