Consider selecting a cookbook that not only includes recipes but also provides information about the cultural significance and history of each dish.

2. Subscription to a food delivery service: Many food delivery services offer international cuisine options. Look for a service that specializes in delivering meals from various cultures. This way, your grandpa can enjoy trying new dishes without the hassle of cooking or sourcing ingredients. It can be a fun and convenient way for him to explore different flavors and culinary traditions.

5. Food and culture subscription box: Look for subscription services that combine food and culture. These boxes often contain a variety of curated items such as snacks, spices, condiments, and even cultural items like books or music. By receiving a box regularly, your grandpa can continuously explore different cultures and learn more about their food traditions.
