Deutsches Kochbuchmuseum, Cookbook museum in Dortmund, Germany.

The Deutsches Kochbuchmuseum is a museum of cookbooks in Dortmund, opened on 2 October 1988 as a branch of the Museum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte Dortmund in the Westfalenpark. Its library holds more than 15,000 titles, centred on 19th- and 20th-century German-language literature on cooking and household management. Exhibits include doll kitchens, stoves and cooking equipment.

The Deutsches Kochbuchmuseum opened on 2 October 1988 as a branch of the Museum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte Dortmund in the Westfalenpark, with Henriette Davidis, who lived in Dortmund from 1856 to 1876, at its centre. The Westfalenpark site was given up at the start of 2011; a reopening with a new concept followed in Dortmund's city centre on the Ostwall.

The museum shows how people in Germany have cooked and continue to cook, displayed through exhibits of old kitchen tools, stoves, and handwritten recipes from different regions. You can see from these objects which dishes mattered and how eating habits changed over time.

Visitors can view the collections by appointment on Wednesdays between 10 and 14, with extended hours until 17 on the first Wednesday of each month. It is recommended to call or write in advance to arrange a visit and confirm that the materials you wish to see are available.

Henriette Davidis, a noted German cookbook author, lived in Dortmund from 1856 to 1876 and is a central figure in the museum's history. Her work and recipes form an essential part of the collection and demonstrate how cooking was documented and shared in the 19th century.
