The cooking class

Article Abstract:

Food and beverage gifts have become a useful means to complement Americans' newfound love for cooking and fine dining. Whether at home or in a restaurant, an increasing number of consumers are experimenting with new dishes. Their interest has been piqued by entertaining television food shows conducted by popular culinary celebrities such as Martha Stewart, Emeril Lagasse, Ming Tsai and Bobby Flay. These celebrities have elevated food and dining to a higher level and made the public aware of high quality products. Thus, consumers tend to associate food gifts, which are generally expensive, with luxury.
