Five Star Gift Ideas

For a husband who loves cooking international recipes, there are plenty of thoughtful and practical gift options that can enhance his culinary adventures. Here are a few ideas:

1. Cookbooks: Surprise him with a collection of cookbooks focused on international recipes. Look for titles that feature his favorite cuisines or explore new ones he hasn't tried before. Some popular options include "Plenty" by Yotam Ottolenghi for Mediterranean-inspired dishes, "Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking" by Marcella Hazan, or "Thai Street Food" by David Thompson.

2. Spice Set: Help him elevate his dishes with a curated spice set from different regions around the world. Look for sets that include a variety of spices commonly used in international cuisine. This can introduce him to new flavors, such as a Moroccan spice set with Ras el Hanout, or an Indian spice set with garam masala and turmeric.

3. Cooking Class: Treat him to a cooking class to learn how to make international dishes from a professional chef. Many culinary schools or local cooking schools offer classes specifically focused on various cuisines. Consider a class on sushi making, Thai curry, or French pastries—whatever intrigues his taste buds the most.

4. Specialty Ingredients: Surprise him with high-quality, hard-to-find ingredients to enhance his international recipes. This could include things like Spanish saffron, Italian truffle oil, or Japanese miso paste. Look for specialty food stores or online retailers that offer a wide range of international ingredients.

5. Kitchen Gadgets: Help him streamline his cooking process and bring the world to his kitchen with useful gadgets. A sushi-making kit, a pasta maker, or a French press coffee maker can add excitement to his cooking routine.

6. Subscription Box: Consider subscribing him to a monthly subscription box that delivers ingredients and recipes from different countries. These boxes often include pre-measured ingredients and detailed instructions, making it easy for him to explore new dishes without all the legwork. Some popular options include Try the World, Universal Yums, or The Spice Pioneer.

7. Personalized Apron or Cutting Board: Get him a personalized apron or cutting board with his name or initials. This not only adds a personal touch to his cooking experience but also shows your appreciation for his passion and talent in the kitchen.

Whatever gift you choose, make sure to consider his specific interests and favorite cuisines. The key is to show him that you support his passion and want to encourage his culinary explorations.

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

Burcin Dalkanat says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“It was such a sentimental and romantic present for my husband's birthday (since he is so into astronomy and the moon on the background). The order came super well packaged, and now it is the gem in the basement :)”
