Paul Graham on Twitter: "One of the best presents you can get for a cook is a new spice they didn't know about. You're not just buying them the spice, but the knowledge that it exists, and what it's like."

  Great idea! Unfortunately my dear wife already has a long-standing relationship with Penzy’s spice company.

  My dad cooks really well, but he is very picky. Don't think that would work for me.
