Five Star Gift Ideas

For your friend who loves to learn new recipes from different cuisines, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift options that will enhance their culinary journey. Consider the following gift ideas:

1. Cookbook Collection: Help your friend expand their recipe repertoire with a collection of cookbooks that feature diverse cuisines. Look for renowned authors like Ottolenghi, Jamie Oliver, or Diana Henry, who specialize in international flavors and offer delicious recipes from around the world.

2. Cooking Classes: Treat your friend to a cooking class where they can learn to prepare dishes from the cuisines they love. Look for cooking schools or culinary institutes in your area that offer classes specializing in international cuisine. This experience will not only enhance their cooking skills but also provide an opportunity to meet like-minded individuals.

3. Subscription to a Meal Kit Service: Consider gifting your friend a subscription to a meal kit service that offers recipes from different cuisines. Companies like Blue Apron, HelloFresh, or Sun Basket provide meal kits with pre-portioned ingredients and step-by-step recipes that will inspire them to try new dishes.

4. Kitchen Gadgets: Help your friend improve their cooking process with some useful kitchen tools. Consider a spiralizer for making zoodles or a sushi-making kit for exploring Japanese cuisine. Alternatively, a mortar and pestle set for grinding spices or a high-quality chef's knife can also be valuable additions to their kitchen.

5. Spice and Herb Collection: Enhance your friend's culinary adventures by gifting them a collection of exotic spices and herbs. Look for unique blends like za'atar, garam masala, or Chinese five-spice that can add depth and flavor to their dishes from various cuisines. You can either create a curated set yourself or purchase a pre-packaged spice collection.

6. Food and Travel Experience: Combine your friend's love for different cuisines and travel by gifting them a food and travel experience. This could include a food tour in their city or a vacation package to a destination known for its culinary delights, such as Thailand for Thai cuisine or Italy for authentic Italian food.

7. Personalized Apron or Cutting Board: Show your friend your thoughtfulness with a personalized apron or cutting board. Engrave their name or a personal message related to their love for cooking. This gift not only adds a sentimental touch but also reminds them of your support for their culinary journey every time they step into the kitchen.

Remember, the best gift often reflects the recipient's passions and interests. By choosing a meaningful and personal gift that aligns with your friend's love for learning new recipes from different cuisines, you'll be sure to make their wedding day even more special.

Or you can get her/him a star map with the date of the wedding.

“This was such a beautiful gift for my son and his wife for the day they married. My only problem was I left it in the cart where I tried to buy a frame and they never got to see it. I have to order another one, it was too perfect of a gift 🎁👍❤️”
