Help me buy a gift - Moms / people who like cooking

[kiviniar]

So, i decided to give someone a gift as i was just feeling happy

Now, she asked for something that i have no clue off - a "COOK BOOK "

Can anyone suggest a good cook book they have used, i plan to ship it from amazon.

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[John Scott]

Cook book? Naw.

Give her some Baccarat Crystal.

Betty Crocker is always good.

I collect cook books my favorite is called "The Amish Cook"

The cool thing about it is there is actually stuff to read about this woman's life along with the recipes. For instance she talks about how her husband was drafted...

I had no clue that could even occur.

[kiviniar]

Thanks for the opinion guys, will have a look..

Betty Crocker - Will check her out too

The Amish Cook - will check out the reviews


John, may be the second time i buy her a gift

There's this one cookbook I have that is kind of neat. Can't remember the name of it though. It has recipes for popular dishes at restaurants.

Or...you can never go wrong with a dessert cookbook Who doesn't like treats?

[suzjor]

Mayo Clinic cookbook

or this one for delicious indian cooking.

And everyone must have The Joy of Cooking.

I've heard Rachael Ray is good too but I don't have one of hers to tell you myself.

You could also just get a gift certificate for Pampered Chef and let her pick a cookbook out herself.

[pctec]

How about hiring a chef to come over and cook for her

[mothproof]

this looks like outright spam, but you could give your mom some personalised full-year horoscopes.

something she wouldn't have thought of for herself.
(go ahead, click my link)

last christmas, i gave my boyfriend a cookbook, all recipes for risotto.
Throw in some cayenne pepper or oregano powder or any other spice in shakers, with your gift.

I love the idea of getting supplies with the cookbook. That is awesome!

If she's looking to lose weight, get her a weight watchers cook book or a south beach diet cook book. They're both pretty good.

Thanks suzjor

Getting this one for her "The Joy of Cooking."

p.s. She is not my mom and i dont live anywhere near her (I live in India and she live in CA), just a friend i met online

Thank you guys

No idea what to get my mother... She'll probably just criticize it anyway...

[snuzulooz]

Joy of Cooking is excellent and in my personal collection. Make sure she hooks you up with some of the creme puffs Easy to make and people always are overly impressed.

[chicgeek]

My mother screwed up making Jello, and rice with a rice cooker. (You add rice, water and press a button - she forgot to press the button.) No cookbook for her.

My dad's the cook.

I am sooo hungry right now. It is partially, I think to blame for all you people talking about food! I cannot cook because if cooking begins it is soon followed by the voracious anger. There are many things I want to eat right now. I want to eat a big cheeseburger with onions, mustard, relish, pickles.. anger.. anger...sooo hungry! If you have something good to eat please send it to me now.
