We all know a foodie. They love food, usually cooking and might own a large collection of cook books, but the one thing they have in common is their shared love of food and eating well.
So, if you’re looking to buy a foodie something different this Christmas, what are your options? Isn’t it time you strayed away from the safe choice of a celeb chef’s latest cook book?
Well, the great news is that there are lots of healthy, unusual gift ideas to consider for the foodie in your life. When it comes to food, being healthy is easy and doesn’t mean it has to be boring or uninspiring.
Food hampers are better than ever
There are some great, modern food hampers to choose from. Gone are the days when a hamper contained some cheese, biscuits, jam and shortbread. You can find some great hamper ideas, many of which are targeting healthy eaters too.
If they’re a budding chef and spend hours cooking in their kitchen, there are some great hampers of ingredients available. What better way to introduce a foodie to a new style of cuisine than with an ingredients hamper. What about Italian or Japanese tonight?
Foodie heaven experiences could be the answer
There’s no need to limit your gift buying to food. What about an experience day, weekend or even a holiday? There are some fantastic options available for foodies to get more out of their cooking. What about a demonstration at a top restaurant, maybe with a celebrity chef or one of their understudies?
There are workshops available in almost any style of cooking you can think of. They’re really interesting days out for foodies and those with only a passing interest in cooking.
And for the ultimate gift, what about a food related break or holiday? With some fantastic and exotic locations on offer, what better way to combine a relaxing holiday with a great food related experience? You could learn to cook Italian food in Tuscany, Moroccan food in Marrakesh or why not spend a couple of days at the fantastic Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in the Cotswolds – Raymond Blanc’s fantastic restaurant.
