Is there somebody in your life who seems to be addicted to TV programs about food? Do they have their remotes set to automatically go to the Food TV network? Will they cancel previous engagements to watch the season finale of Iron Chef?
Some foodies exhibit a peculiar and ironic trait. They love to look at and daydream about food, yet they are not particularly good cooks. This article suggests some great and inexpensive gifts that will be received with delight by the foodie in your life!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1
    Paula Deen

    Know who your foodie likes to watch. Does he say, "OMG. I LOVE Paula Deen. I would eat anything she cooked!" or, "I can't stand Bobby Flay. He's so...(blah, blah, blah)!" Foodies are very passionate and opinionated about their most and least favorite cooking stars. Just start a conversation about tv chefs and take some mental notes!

  2. Step 2
     

    Buy a cookbook by one of your foodie's favorite chefs. You could just go to the bookstore and pull one off the shelf, but you will have many more less expensive books to choose from if you buy online.
    If you prefer, there is a cookbook with recipes from many popular Food TV chefs, called "Food Network Favorites-Recipes from our All-Star Chefs"

  3. Step 3
    Rachel Ray

The suggested retail price is $26.00. This book is eligible for FREE Super Saver shipping.
