Cool Gift of the Day
Thursday, July 21, 2005
What it is:
An in-home cooking lesson for 4, from a professional chef.
Why we love it:
Sometimes the best gifts are the ones that don't last. For the cook in your life, from the dabbler to the serious gourmand, the memory of a personal cooking lesson from a gourmet chef will last longer than any gadget or faddish toy that you could give them. If you want to give them a truly special experience, this is it. A professional chef, armed with food and cooking equipment, will come to their home and spend a delicious 2 hours teaching them and up to 3 guests all the tips and tricks of the restaurant trade. The evening will be liberally sprinkled with handouts and delicious tastings, along with great insider information on the restaurant biz. They can select from a long list of possible menus, each on a different delectable theme. Perhaps it's a Hawaiian feast that thrills them, or a Taste of Tuscany; whatever their pleasure, they'll be indulged, entertained and enlightened by the experience.
Who we'd give it to:
Amateur chefs, gourmands, new cooks, people who love to entertain, just about anyone.
