While we’re on the subject of food, here’s a savory deal for you gourmand-type travelers. Hotel deLuxe is now offering what I think is one of our most creative — nay most delicious! — overnight specials yet.

Called “Here’s Cooking With You Kid,” you receive food and wine magazines (for research), a bottle of Oregon wine (for inspiration), reservations and a $50.00 gift certificate to a concierge-recommended restaurant (for eating). Best of all, the offer also includes a cooking class at Sur La Table (or a $65 gift gift certificate to Sur La Table)!

Now, I can’t promise you’d be a holiday hero if you gave your beloved this gift, but — actually, yes I can. You would be. A holiday hero.

See you here,
Emily
