Through ingredients new or tried-and-true, I'm transported to a new-found place or one that brings me the most comfort. These kits seem perfect for jet setting around the globe of culinary possibilities. A first-class find! Cooking is also a getaway for me.

The photos and stories have been fascinating! PCC - Right? I immediately thought gift when I saw these and what's cool is they're appropriate for cooks and noncooks alike. You are so right about the sense of accomplishment with cooking - maybe it's because it's so tangible, when a lot of other things we do all day are more mental. Laura - Destination Dinners does a great job with the packaging, no question, and to me, that's probably one of the biggest appeals. I'd love to see what you'd come up with on your own, too! Jacqui - It's so nice that you understand. And thanks for the empathy about the hospital - it looks like things will be OK, but the whole experience was a little traumatic. Lo - Like I e-mailed you, I loved your comment! I think you'd like Alain de Botton's "The Art of Travel" for its discussion of appreciating the ordinary - totally changed my perspective on daily life. Rachel - RIght? so good! Kim - I know!
