Give The Gift Of Cooking

‘

Tis the season for giving – are you still looking for the perfect gift for someone? Well here is a pretty delicious idea for you. Why not give a cookbook for the holidays? For recipients who love to spend time in the kitchen, a cookbook would be the best gift. But among the countless cookbooks available in the market, which one should you give? Here are some tips for you.

Restaurant cookbook
You know how sometimes, you just crave for food that only a certain restaurant serves? What better gift to have than a cookbook featuring the recipes of that restaurant? This should be easy enough with all the chefs making their own cookbooks these days.

Regional cuisine
From the US to France, there are certain dishes that are known to come from a certain region. If you know that your recipient likes a certain way of cooking, then a regional cookbook would be a great gift.

Novelty cookbooks
This might be the hardest choice. Novel and unique is always good but how to choose which is novel? You have to know your food well and the recipient’s preferences as well. If I were you, I’d go for remakes of old recipes – that always works.

Cooking style
Make sure that you know your recipient’s cooking style. If a person likes working with pork and not chicken, then don’t choose a cookbook that features chicken! On second thought, you might want to give a “chicken cookbook” just for the fun of it!

Fun – that’s the keyword here. Choose something that you think will be fun for your recipient and who knows, you just might get to enjoy the fruits of your labor (or gift, if you wish)!
