hostess gift for someone on Bernstein diet

[Zengarden]

I am looking for a food or culinary gift for someone on the Bernstein diet. She loves to cook and bake. But she isn't into "stuff" so I really need to think about what I can bring to an event that won't violate her diet or clutter up her space.

Any suggestions would be appreciate. Thanks in advance.

If she loves to bake and cook, why not some baking equiptment? I love getting fun kitchen gadgets (zester, garlic press, etc) that I normally wouldn't buy for myself.

I've had a couple friends do the Bernstein diet- it's so restrictive (one of my friends was allowed roughly 1000 calories a day), so it's hard to find many tasty foods that will work with the diet.

My suggestion would be a selection of spices from Spice Trader, or a selection of Mighty Leaf teas (both friends drank a lot of herbal tea when they were on the diet).

Gourmet spices and teas are a great idea. I don't know if this will violate her diet but salts are nice too, the different types (Himalayan..etc.etc.) that they have in little jars/gift sets, if it's something she's into.
Maybe not something I would buy myself but I'd love it if someone gave it to me as a hostess gift.

If she's into hot things maybe some pickled peppers in a fancy jar?
