1. Cookbook Collection: Consider gifting him a collection of cookbooks featuring cuisines from various countries. Choose books that specialize in authentic recipes to give him the opportunity to explore and experiment with different flavors and cooking techniques. You can focus on specific regions or go for an all-encompassing global cookbook collection.

2. Cooking Classes: Enroll him in cooking classes or workshops that specialize in international cuisines. Look for local culinary schools or community centers that offer classes on Thai, Italian, Japanese, or other popular global cuisines. This will not only enhance his culinary skills but also provide him with hands-on experience in mastering diverse cooking styles.

3. International Spice Set: Delight him with a curated set of international spices and seasonings. This could include unique blends such as Moroccan Ras el Hanout, Indian Garam Masala, Mexican Ancho Chile Powder, or Chinese Five-Spice Powder. These spices will allow your grandson to bring authentic flavors to his dishes and experiment with different taste profiles from around the world.

4. Food Subscription Box: A food subscription box that focuses on international delicacies can be a delightful gift for your grandson. Each month, he will receive a box filled with unique snacks, sauces, and ingredients from various countries. It will give him the opportunity to sample new tastes and explore his adventurous palate.

5. Specialty Ingredients: Consider putting together a personalized gift basket filled with specialty ingredients related to international cuisines. Include items like high-quality olive oil from Greece, balsamic vinegar from Italy, miso paste from Japan, or saffron from Spain. This not only allows your grandson to try out new ingredients but also adds a touch of authenticity to his culinary experiments.

6. Cooking Gadgets: There are several gadgets and tools specifically designed for cooking international dishes. Consider purchasing a sushi-making kit, a tandoori oven set, a pasta-making machine, or a tagine pot, depending on the specific cuisine your grandson is interested in. These gadgets can make his cooking experience more enjoyable and authentic.

7. Virtual Cooking Experience: In today's technologically advanced world, virtual cooking experiences have become popular. Book an online cooking class where he can learn to cook traditional dishes from renowned chefs based in various countries. This allows him to engage with experts while cooking in the comfort of his own kitchen.

Remember to pick a gift that aligns with your grandson's specific interests and preferences within the realm of international cuisine. By choosing a thoughtful and personalized gift, you will not only encourage his culinary passion but also strengthen the bond between you and your grandson.
