It may seem odd to describe a bookshop as delicious smelling, but between the products of its test kitchen and its regularly scheduled cookery demonstrations, Books for Cooks is hard to resist. Just about every world cuisine is represented on its shelves, along with the complete lineup of celebrity-chef editions. You can spend hours perusing the volumes and sample lunch dishes, cakes, and coffee at one of a handful of tables in the back. Before you come to London, visit the shop's Web site, www.booksforcooks.com, to sign up for a cookery class.
