This cozy place was built in 1932 as a church and then later on was an architect’s office, daycare, butcher shop, BBQ restaurant and bakery. The history goes on.
Vita and Burke Smith fell in love with this cute building and decided to give it a new life. With a tremendous love of books and cooking, the perfect name was born - Cookbook.
OUR MIGHTY TEAM - PAST AND PRESENT
The town of Ketchum is at once inviting and authentic, where skiers and locals mingle effortlessly.
From prelift power breakfasts to apres-ski steaks in an Old West saloon, here’s where to eat when you’re not on the slopes.
“A stellar experience from the get-go. Seated outside, nice two top. Emily was our server and I think she’s one of the best servers we’ve ever had. Had the watermelon gazpacho — so refreshing and HOLY FLAVOR! Wild mushroom ravioli, DAMN delicious! And for dessert we took the Veda cake home. Yum!”
“This was a really great dinner! The menu is completely packed with scrumptious delights. The atmosphere is amazing and the staff is very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The Cookbook is extremely family friendly, which is great. The Ukrainian dumplings were very flavorful and the pizza was savory. Veda’s cake is both authentic and delicious. I couldn’t more highly recommend the Cookbook”
“Best meal we had in Ketchum! The food was delicious, the staff were all lovely and the outdoor atmosphere was everything we wanted on a warm summer night. We have a one year old and he loved being able to walk about the side yard. We were lucky to get in without a reservation around 7:30 but it really picked up around 8:30.Kid-friendliness: The staff was all very accommodating. They placed us around the side where there were only 4 other tables. Spacious with gravel floors which out little guy loved. Safe and off the road which is a big plus for us.”
