Why it makes a good gift
Best for : A mother-in-law whose dishes the whole family asks for at every holiday.
Best occasion : Christmas, Mother's Day, her birthday, or the first holiday after you join the family.
Why it works : It tells her that her cooking matters to you: a blank book made to collect her recipes, ideally with a note asking her to write down the one dish your spouse grew up on. It costs little and becomes a family keepsake.
Avoid if : She cooks by feel and has never followed a written recipe: she may see it as homework.
