Books always make good gifts, especially when thoughtfully chosen. Although not everyone is a great reader, most people do like to eat. Preparing food for oneself and for others is not an innate skill; it must be learned. Cookbooks for beginners are useful and never need to be boring, since there is a wide variety available.
There are literally hundreds of different kinds of cooking guides. If you're looking for a great wedding present, for instance, one of the classics is good. The Joy Of Cooking, for example, has many gourmet dishes but also covers the basics. In addition, it has a lot of good kitchen information, like how to substitute ingredients if you're missing one on the list. It also explains many cooking terms, which might be unfamiliar.
At the other end of the spectrum for a young bride is Betty Crocker, who issued guides for all ages. Quick meals are a specialty of this genre, as well as many treasured recipes that might not be gourmet but are perennial favorites with families. Things like chocolate chip cookies, macaroni and cheese casserole, and beef stew are included, as well as apple pie and foolproof meat loaf.
There are some great collections that feature canned soups as main ingredients. These are often for casseroles, but include pot roast and chicken pot pie. Gravies are quick and easy when cream of mushroom or celery soup is combined with browned meat in a skillet and left to simmer.
There is always a new diet or eating plan in the news these days, and giving a companion recipes book is a great way to show support. It's much easier to stick with low-fat, low-carb, low-sodium, or no-sugar programs if you have a series of delicious meals to enjoy. It also makes shopping easier, since the ingredient list serves as a guide.
There are many fun cooking guides for kids, who should learn how to feed themselves and know why so many adults love to cook. Recipes for no-bake cookies or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches can be followed alone, while things like bite-size toasted cheese wedges are fun and safe for kids to prepare with supervision.
A gift of a crock-pot makes a great housewarming or wedding present, and if a specialized cookbook is included, it's even better. Blenders or panini grills are also fun, and many people have never experimented with them. Guidance in using any new appliance will always be appreciated. Even those who have all the gadgets will enjoy new ideas on using them.
Everyone likes to eat - and most of us don't want it all to be raw. Therefore there's always a need for fresh ideas and better ways to delight the palate. Whether it's out of necessity or based on a desire to please, proficiency enhances cooking every time. Give a gift that keeps on giving and find the perfect cookbook for everyone on your list.
