It’s the holiday season and we all have that one special someone that just HAS to have a cooking-related gift. It would be silly to get them anything else! Here’s some of our favorite picks for your favorite food-lover and cooking extraordinaire
Every chef wants special-occasion or special-recipe olive oil, but it’s not something on the usual grocery list. From marinade to hors-d’oeuvres, high quality olive oil can be the perfect touch. Find tips from the olive oil experts of the internet here or here.
Nothing says “I’m the real deal” like a chef coat with spaghetti sauce all over it. A chef coat is a great gift that your loved one can use over and over again. I remember when I got my first chef coat with my name embroidered on it...I’m convinced that my meals are tastier when I wear it. Nowadays most websites allow you to customize your chef coat with images, colors, embroidery, and cool patterns. You really just can’t go wrong with this one.
For someone that’s constantly in the kitchen, an extremely useful gift is something to prop various reading material on. Whether it’s a cookbook, old recipe cards, or a video on their ipad, avid cookers are always in need of a stand to hold it all up as they cook. Cookbook stands are not only useful, but also a wonderful fashion piece for any kitchen. We personally love these ones from Appel’s Etsy shop.
Get your chef some visually appealing measuring cups - we can’t get enough of these vintage mason jar-style ones. Because let’s face it - the old cups cluttering up their kitchen drawer get old.
There’s so much more to a cutting board than meets the eye. Your favorite chef likely knows this, and would appreciate the opportunity to bring cutting to the next level.
