What's the best Mother's Day gift for the mom who loves her wok and buying escargots? Something fun and adventurous. Gift her with a present that appeals to her culinary wild side. Expand her repertoire while treating her to something exciting.
Spices are the perfect gift for the culinary wild child. One of the best places to shop is The Online Spice Store. The site has blends from all over the world, from the Caribbean to Asia. They also offer some very nice gift sets. There are such collections that feature curry spices and Middle Eastern ones. There are also traditional groupings for Italian dishes too. The prices for these range from $35. to $38. A much more cost efficient gift is their flat packs which are small packets of freshly milled spices. They're great if you want to give her a sample of any kind of spic.Of course you can just get her a gift certificate from there along with a microplane spice mill. With this she can grind her own and create her own unique blends.If Mom is into gourmet seasonings then think about some various sea salts from Celtic Sea Salt. They have an amazing array of all sorts of salts. Their best is Flower of The Ocean or Fleur de sel. This is perfect in savory dishes but also great sprinkled on homemade caramels or caramel frosting. Another gift is the Makai sea salt which has both doses of calcium and magnesium in it.
If your mom love international cooking then, think about a crepe pan. Everyone from Williams and Sonoma to Wal-Mart sells them. Keep in mind that they come in a wide range of prices. You can buy one that's as costly as $290 for a Mauviel copper pan, crafted in France at the famed company of the same name to one that's only $24.95 from de Buyer, also French. This last has a simple design and looks like crepe pans from centuries past. You could also add a container of crepe mix to get her started. Another idea is a wok. This Chinese and Southeast Asian must have is a fun present, especially if Mom is into stir fries. Like the crepe pan it comes with different prices. Target has several with the least expensive starting at only $19.99 .It's a flat bottom carbon steel wok with wooden handles. Macy's has an inexpensive Kenmore -Hammond for only $33.99 on sale right now. The site Wok Accessories sells items that would make for interesting accessories. Pick up a slotted wok spatula or stainless steal skimmers. There are also easy to slip on silicon handles that make handling the pot easier.
Give the adventurous cook something fun and exciting for Mother's Day. Mom will love experimenting with spices or creating fancy crepes. Appeal to her wild side with different and unusual gifts.
