    So I picked up a stocking filler gift - a Celebrity cook book.
    Its a nice book with some really nice looking recipes inside.
    Will be giving it to my Mum tomorrow.
    The problem is that, as I was wrapping it, I noticed the name/title.
    It is called 'How to be a better Cook'

    If I was you I'd put off handing out the gifts until after the dinner.

    Claim you're dyslexic and read it as a 'batter' cook and thought she'd like some onion rings and such like.

    As long as it's 'How to be a better cook than...Susan Boyle' or whatever.
