1. Cookbooks: Consider gifting him a collection of renowned cookbooks from top chefs or specialized culinary authors. Look for books that focus on his favorite cuisine, cooking techniques, or inspiring new recipes. This will not only provide him with a wealth of knowledge but also offer endless inspiration for his gourmet creations.

2. Cooking Classes: Surprise him with a cooking class or a series of classes at a renowned culinary institute or cooking school. Whether it's a specific culinary technique or mastering a particular cuisine, these classes will give him the opportunity to learn from professional chefs and further refine his skills.

3. Gourmet Ingredients: Opt for high-quality gourmet ingredients that he can experiment with in the kitchen. This could include a selection of exotic spices, unique oils and vinegars, or handcrafted artisanal sauces and condiments. These ingredients will not only enhance the flavors of his dishes but also inspire him to try new recipes and techniques.

4. Cooking Tools and Equipment: Upgrade his kitchen with top-notch cooking tools and equipment. Consider investing in high-quality knives, professional-grade cookware, or specialized gadgets that can assist him in specific culinary tasks. For example, a sous vide machine, a professional-grade blender, or a molecular gastronomy kit could take his cooking to the next level.

5. Personalized Apron or Chef's Hat: Make him feel like a professional chef with a personalized apron or chef's hat. You can have his name or a special message embroidered on it, giving him a sense of pride and ownership in the kitchen. Choose a durable and stylish option that reflects his personality and cooking style.

6. Food and Wine Subscriptions: Treat him to monthly or quarterly food and wine subscriptions where he can discover new, unique ingredients, recipe ideas, or interesting wines from around the world. These subscriptions will introduce him to a variety of flavors and inspire his creativity in the kitchen.

7. Culinary Travel Experience: If you're looking for an extravagant gift, plan a culinary travel experience. This could involve a trip to a famous food destination like Tuscany, Thailand, or Japan, where he can explore the local cuisine, take cooking classes from renowned chefs, and immerse himself in the culinary culture of the region.

8. Homemade Recipe Book: Compile his favorite recipes, family recipes, and any new creations he's come up with into a personalized homemade recipe book. Include photos, anecdotes, and personal notes for a heartfelt touch. This gift will not only showcase your thoughtfulness but also provide him with a special keepsake that he can treasure for years to come.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows you appreciate his passion and supports his culinary journey. Choose something that aligns with his interests and aspirations, and he will surely be delighted with your thoughtful gesture.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
