Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband who loves trying new recipes from different cultures, I have a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that he will surely appreciate:

1. Cookbooks: Explore the world of culinary delights with cookbooks that focus on international cuisines. Look for popular ones like "The Food of Spain" by Claudia Roden, "Plenty" by Yotam Ottolenghi, or "Bazaar" by Sabrina Ghayour. These cookbooks will not only provide him with new recipes but also insights into the cultural background and traditions behind each dish.

2. Cooking Classes: Treat your husband to a cooking class that specializes in international cuisine. It could be a one-day workshop where he can learn how to make authentic Thai dishes or a series of classes covering various cuisines from around the world. This experience will not only expand his culinary skills but also give him the opportunity to interact with others who share his passion for exploring different cultures through food.

3. Global Spice Set: Introduce your husband to a variety of spices from different countries with a curated spice set. Look for a collection that includes spices like za'atar from the Middle East, garam masala from India, or sumac from North Africa. This gift will allow him to experiment with different flavors and recreate authentic dishes from various cultures.

4. Subscription to a Food Box: Consider getting your husband a subscription to a food box that delivers ingredients and recipes from different parts of the world. Services like Try the World or Universal Yums offer monthly boxes filled with snacks and ingredients from different countries. This will enable him to explore new flavors and cook dishes from various cultures without leaving the comfort of his own kitchen.

5. Culinary Travel Guide: For a unique and personal gift, get your husband a culinary travel guidebook that focuses on food destinations around the world. Look for books like "Food Lover's Guide to the World" by Lonely Planet or "The New Paris: The People, Places & Ideas Fueling a Movement" by Lindsey Tramuta. These guides will not only inspire him with a list of must-visit food destinations but also provide insights into the local culinary scene and recommendations for iconic dishes to try.

Remember, the key to finding a meaningful and personal gift for your husband is to cater to his passion for trying new recipes from different cultures. By selecting a gift that allows him to explore, experiment, and learn about food from all around the world, you'll be giving him a truly memorable and enjoyable experience.

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 :)”
