I ported one of my iPhone apps to Mac. It's not easy because there is no UIKit on Mac. I began with the following books:
1. Cocoa.Programming.for.Mac.OS.X.For.Dummies(Wiley.2 009-2)
2. Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X by Aaron Hillegass 3rd Edition
3. Core Animation For Mac And iPhone

Actually, Cocoa greatly differs from Cocoa Touch, you should learn much about GUI, bindings, and so on. However, since you already know Objective C/model-view-controller model, and Foundation objects it would be easier. And, Cocoa is much more powerful than Cocoa Touch.

I'd recommend to start from trying to do something, and reading books in parallel.
