烹饪书是集合多个食谱而成的书籍。现时的烹饪书不少会包含精美的彩色插图、以及食材购买推介、或代替品。烹饪书亦会包括不同类型的题材，例如住家烹饪技巧、由前大厨亲自讲解食谱、个人厨房教学及文化介绍等。

A cookbook (sometimes cookery book in Commonwealth English or cook book) is a kitchen reference publication that typically contains a collection of recipes.

Modern versions may also include colorful illustrations and advice on purchasing quality ingredients or making substitutions. Cookbooks can also cover a wide variety of topics, including cooking techniques for the home, recipes and commentary from famous chefs, institutional kitchen manuals, and cultural commentary.
