The big day is fast approaching and you need an impressive holiday gift for a foodie co-worker or new boyfriend/girlfriend who loves to cook. These items are sure to get the job done.
1. Bodum Double-wall Thermo Glasses: The super chic, light-weight cups are designed for cold and hot beverages alike. They are made with two thin layers of glass, which prevents condensation with cold drinks and allows you to hold the cup without a handle with hot beverages. The technology is genius and the cups can be used for everything from wine to coffee.
2. A Subscription to Bon Appetit: I’ve been reading this magazine religiously for years and can vouch for its top-notch quality. Written in a fresh, approachable voice, it’s the perfect mix of innovative yet doable recipes, restaurant news from the world over, cooking technique how-tos and absolutely stunning photography.
3. How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman: 2,000+ easy recipes and ideas that allow you to spend less time in the kitchen and more time eating great homemade food. Written by a New York Times food writer, this is simply a great cookbook.
4. Cuisinart Sandwich Maker: This small appliance is easily one of my favorite possessions. It’s light, durable and small enough to fit even into a drawer. With its ridged design, it has the ability to turn any lackluster sandwich into a crusty portable pocket of cheesy goodness in minutes. And it is such a steal at only $19.95!
5. Le Creuset Stoneware: Le Creuset cookware is legendary and has been known to be passed down between generations. It’s beautiful, durable, and there’s no better presentation for mac & cheese, shepherd pie, or the infamous green bean casserole.
6. Trifle Bowl: A trifle is a festive dessert made of sponge cake, whipped cream and fruit (in one shape or another) layered together. This gift is perfect for the dessert challenged (like me) since it allows you to make dessert by throwing a few ingredients together and calling it a day.
What’s on your holiday wishlist this year?
I actually just got the How to Cook Everything book.. going to utilize it for the first time tonight. No pictures, but well written!
Thanks for these suggestions Sasha! Great ideas! I think I can knock a few gifts off my list with these.
