If you still need a few last-minute gifts, don't panic. Just think "cookbook." Some of today's new food books belong in the kitchen. Others are more a feast for the eyes than the tummy and belong on a coffee table. But somewhere out there among the current crop of cookbooks is one that will suit even the most difficult-to-buy-for person. To whet your appetite, The Times' Food staff has reviewed a small sampling of the season's offerings. If these don't appeal, you should find plenty of others available at your nearest bookstore. : Herbs, Gardens, Decorations and Recipes, by Emelie Tolley and Chris Mead (Clarkson N.
