veryone has that friend who just loves to entertain—whether its grilling up burgers in the backyard, cooking a full sit-down meal or just pouring a wicked cocktail or two. Treat the ones that treat you with culinary gadgets, interesting ingredients, cooking lessons or kitchen decor. (As a bonus, you both reap the benefits!)
