Christmas gift idea for a Teenage Foodie

Anyone have any Cool Christmas gift ideas for a 15 year old boy who's hobbies include: video games, movies, and eating:) I was thinking some unique food idea? Thanks in advance for your assistance!

  1. There are some places around here, cooking schools or restaurants, or even some William Sonoma stores, that offer one-time cooking classes.

  2. That's what I was going to suggest too. CIA might have one, I know Stonewall Kitchen offers one-off classes too. You might even search personal chefs in the area through hire-a-chef, they might run some classes on a semi-regular schedule.

    The other idea I had was to give him some kind of cool gadget/gizmo and recipes/ingredients to go with it:
    - ice cream maker (either electric or old-fashioned crank or the ice cream ball you can get at LLBean & REI) and some funky flavor ideas
    - smoothie maker or magic bullet and some fun ideas and some protein powder or ground flaxseed
    - popcorn popper and ideas for kettle corn, chocolate popcorn, caramel corn, and some mix-ins

  3. Great ideas, Kate.
    One year, I had Susan and she wanted to start making Indian food. I got her a cookbook and ordered a lot of the more obscure, but necessary, spices from a website. She loved it, and is now quite the proficient Indian chef.:)
