My Secret Santa did some exceptional stalking. Some background: I recently graduated and moved into a nice new bachelor pad that I have all to myself. I'm a self-taught cook and LOVE making food for friends and family, so I'm always cooking for myself and having people over for dinner.

I'm active in /r/food and made a post inquiring as to what I should make for dinner for 12 people. They gave me some general suggestions: soup, salad, pizza, etc....but nothing really specific.

My SS sent me Gordon Ramsay's cookbook, entitled "Cooking for Friends"! As perfect as it is, my SS will die when she reads that I was LITERALLY just watching some of Gordon Ramsay's "F Word" cooking sequences on Youtube last night because I was trying to figure out what to make for the Christmas Party that I was hosting (also last night).

This could not be more perfect. I was grinning from ear to ear when I opened it. Thank you so much!!!
