Gift For a Cook
Here is a fun poem about how a blank recipe book makes a great gift for a cook!
Gift For a Cook
If you do look
For a gift for a cook
And know not what’s best
And feel forsook
Then I have a clue
Just in time for you
It will hold a souffle
I’ll tell you in a few
But first I must say
It will make your cook’s day
Because it preserves
Your cook’s main stay
Be it cookies on a platter
Or some deep fried batter
your friend’s favorite dressing
It doesn’t really matter
But I will say instead
That your cook’s favorite bread
May be in your mind
As the most incred-
Ible, taste-a-ment to this thing,
I mean, person who you want to bring
An heirloom, unusual find
From a friend gift-giving
But let’s have a look
Inside the book
It will hold recipes taken
From the imagination of your cook
A book that will hold pages
of your cook’s recipe rages
So he can find what he seeks
Without looking for ages
A book she will look for
When she loves what she has brought forth
Her new concoction
To record in her new resource
A book that IS her recipe file
Tabbed dividers labeled her style
room for recipes long
they are so worthwhile!
You may need not be told
That as your cook friend grows old
Those recipes so special
Make this book like gold
This book that is now sitting blank
For your friend the cook to make swank
Saving creations gourmet
you her friend will she thank
when upon reading this you do find
that nothing she has of this kind
other books hold recipes from others
to her whim they are regrettably blind
so in conclusion you can probably see
that because she can write as she please
she will happily find
the recipe she seeks as she needs
a side dish gruyere
a chicken briere
chocolate truffles
from an old monsieur
thank you for following along
gift for a cook is my song
blank recipe book’s just the thing
To your cook it must surely belong
