The Foodie Gift Guide

November 30, 2020

We can all buy a car, but that doesn't mean we can build one. And we can all eat a delicious meal, but that doesn't mean we can make one. This is a gift-guide for the person in your life who loves to create delicious food, and appreciates it.

1. Silicone Utensils $49 - Durable and heat-safe up to 550 degrees. Great utensils for every day.

2. Cone Cheese Grater $24 - Kitchen tools that are functional and beautiful are my love language.

3. Acacia Wood Footed Serving Bowl $118 - Perfect for serving up salads, breads and cookies; or to keep on your counter round-the-clock as a fruit bowl.

4. TRUFF Gourmet Hot Sauce Set $69 - It's good. Like, really good.

5. Marble Serving Board $49 - Cheese and crackers on a plastic plate is a toddler snack. Cheese and crackers on this serving board, is the perfect appetizer for your small gathering.

6. Velvet Pot Holders $24 - No stitched pillowing or farmhouse animals - just soft, beautiful kitchen mitts.

7. Barbecue Gift Box $70 - The Spice House is where Chris orders all of his spices, and he raves about their blends. The BBQ set is a favorite, but he says they're all winners.

8. Extra Virgin Olive Oil $9 - This is a top-rated dipping oil made from olives grown in California. "At this level it's more of a seasoning than an oil." Chris says.

9. Wüsthof Classic Knife Block Set $495 - Wüsthof is all we use, and this is a great set to replace those old, dull knives you were given as a wedding gift. And the white handles - swoon.

10. Rectangle Wood Serving Board $278 - We have several boards like this around our kitchen. They add so much warmth and character, and are perfect for serving up Chris's best creations.

11. Brass Pepper Mill $104 - So pretty and unique. A gift to be treasured every day they use it, for sure.

12. Marble Utensil Holder $35 - A staple we've had in our kitchen for years. Never lets us down and blends seamlessly into almost any decor.

13. Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast Iron Round Dutch Oven $360 - Chris's go-to. He cooks in this more than any other piece of cookware he owns. Like, it's not even close.

14. Ooni Fyra Pizza Oven $349 - Such a fun activity for the whole family, and turns out way better than delivery.

  1. Those velvet potholders look pretty, but aren't very practical for a true foodie. The "stitched pillowing" you refer to is called quilting (this is a pretty common term, I'm not sure why you didn't use it?) and it helps keep the batting and insulating layers in place in potholders so you don't end up with a thin spot and burn your hands.

The Exciting Plans for Our Primary Bathroom Design
