Five Star Gift Ideas

For your mom who enjoys learning to cook international cuisine, I have a few gift ideas that I think she'll love and find inspiring:

1. Gourmet Spice Set: A collection of high-quality spices from around the world can be an excellent gift for your mom. Look for a set that includes unique spices and blends that will allow her to experiment with flavors from different cuisines. This will not only enhance her cooking skills but also make her dishes more authentic and delicious.

2. Cooking Class: Treat your mom to a cooking class focused on one of her favorite international cuisines. Whether it's Italian, Thai, or Indian cuisine, there are often local cooking schools or professional chefs that offer specialized classes. This gift will not only give her the opportunity to learn new techniques but also provide an interactive and fun experience.

3. Recipe Book: Consider gifting her a cookbook that focuses on international cuisines. Look for one that offers a wide range of recipes from different countries, allowing her to explore various flavors. You can also find cookbooks that are specifically designed for those who enjoy learning to cook international cuisine. This gift will give her a wealth of new recipes to try and enhance her culinary knowledge.

4. Exotic Ingredients: Surprise your mom with a selection of special ingredients used in international cuisines. This could include items like Japanese miso paste, Chinese five-spice powder, or Spanish saffron. These unique ingredients will not only spice up her dishes but also encourage her to experiment with different flavors and techniques.

5. Kitchen Gadgets: Consider getting your mom some specialized kitchen gadgets that are commonly used in international cooking. For example, a sushi-making kit or a pasta maker can be a great addition to her culinary tools. These gadgets will allow her to dive deeper into specific cuisines and create more traditional dishes.

6. Subscription Box: Look into subscription boxes that specialize in international ingredients or recipes. These boxes typically send a curated selection of ingredients or meal kits from different countries. It's a gift that keeps on giving, as each month she'll receive a new box with new recipes to explore.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought and effort put into it. Show your mom that you appreciate and support her passion for cooking international cuisine, and she'll surely love whatever gift you choose!

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
