What we said A recipe book with a difference. If she likes a bit of insider celeb gossip as much as she does cooking then you simply cannot go wrong. She can get hints and tips from a variety of chefs and other food related people such as; Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay, Gary Rhodes, Delia Smith or Rick Stein to name but a few. There are interviews with each person along with their recipe ideas - it makes a fantastic gift! Be warned though - if you're expecting a tasty dish of fish and chips on your lap you could end up with a variation of Tempura of Baby Red Snapper with Root Vegetable Slaw and Sweet Basil Aioli!
