We all eat, but some of your friends are true fans of the culinary arts and love to try their hand at being the next Jamie, Bobby or Nigela . Theirs can be some of the hardest gifts to find when Christmas shopping. Are they experienced home cooks or novices in the kitchen?
Whichever they are, cooking classes or a great classic cookbook like the Larousse Gastronomique might fit the bill to help them learn or improve new skills.
As they advance their cooking prowess they might need new cookware or some unique kitchen equipment. Lots of gourmet grocers offer terrific food baskets that are another great option for the hard to find.
Whatever you choose, just make sure they invite you over for dinner in the new year!
