Shabbat 73 – In this video, Rabbi Chaim Brovender explains why reading cookbooks falls into the category of “Shitrei Hediyotot”. Cookbooks, he explains, are for the explicit purpose of preparing food, which is an activity forbidden on Shabbat, and so this prohibition is in place regardless whether the intention of the reader is to cook something from the book after Shabbat or not.
