[Sca-cooks] Gifts for Assistants?

[johnna holloway]

Actually there are some great buys on things
like mulling spices and packaged food treats
right now... I don't know when the feast is
but this stuff might do. I used to give second-hand
cookbooks, like the classics that I had picked up
cheap (editions of Beebe, Henisch, etc.) I also
believe that one can never have too many quality
potholders or mitts. Local gift certificates to
the best deli in town might do very well too.
