Couples cooking kit

Why he’ll love it

Cooking something new together, like sushi, pasta or dumplings, makes for a fun anniversary night in. Choose a kit with the tools and step-by-step instructions included, and check which fresh ingredients you'll need to buy separately. He'll love the chance to roll sushi, make fresh pasta or fold dumplings with you, with music on and a glass of something to hand. Look for a kit that includes clear recipes, reusable tools and enough to make a meal for two, and check whether any special ingredients need ordering. It suits foodie men, couples who enjoy a project and anyone who likes to cook but gets stuck in a rut. It's a fun, hands-on alternative to a restaurant meal. It’s a great pick if he’s into bbq and food. Check what he cooks on now, gas, charcoal or a smoker, so it fits his set-up straight away. At £20–£50 it sits in the sweet spot for birthdays and Christmas: thoughtful enough to feel special, without breaking the bank. Prices and availability change, so check the latest details, sizes and reviews on the product page before you buy, and keep the receipt in case he wants to swap it.
