Oh bum, I completely misunderstood what you meant. I thought you mean that one had a native language that the other had an interest in. Why would I have thought that, duh!

Apologies for any confusion caused, normal service will resume when Peachy learns to read properly.

The Barefoot Contessa is great http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_5?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=barefoot+contessa&sprefix=baref

My mum has 2 of her books and i've got her another 2 for Christmas.

The Chinese cooking made easy as already suggested is a good cook book if they like to do something a bit different.

Thai cook books? I got a good one in Debenhams.

This is a lovely book - it introduces the recipes with a little bit of backstory about where they originate from. I think it's out of print so would have to be a second hand copy, but I love mine!

I think my ex MIL has that, it looks very familiar.

Thanks for all the lovely ideas, I'm going to try to get to Foyles this week to have a flick through the suggestions, then in true MSE style will order if from Amazon, The Book People, or the Book Depository
