Gifts for the Gourmet

This is probably my favorite gift guide to put together because I love to cook! I’ve tried to be really thoughtful about the things I’ve chosen and I think I’ve come up with some great ideas! In case you’re looking for a gift for me…I would love to have any of these things!

Who doesn’t love Stanley Tucci? I have just ordered The Tucci Cookbook for myself and can’t wait to start cooking! This cookbook is a perfect gift for the serious cook or for the novice…I promise!

These spectacular bone-in ribeyes are a meat lovers dream! These cowboy steaks are bone-in prime ribeyes large enough to serve two. This rib steak is graded USDA Prime, so it features the highest level of marbling available for rich, full-bodied flavor. The rib bone is “frenched” which makes for a spectacular plate appearance.

Kitchen Aid Mixers are such great quality and every serious cook needs one. I’ve had my mixer for nearly 40 years (omg that’s hard to believe) and it’s still going strong! The new attachments still fit my old mixer which says a lot about the company in my opinion! These mixers come in every color and style so there is one to match any kitchen! They are an investment, but well worth it!

If you love to cook you know that you can never have too many spices in your spice cabinet! A gift box from The Spice House is contains a variety of spice blends to elevate any meal!

These Salt and Pepper Mills are art for the kitchen and make such a fabulous gift!

For those times when you don’t drink the whole bottle! This Repour Wine Saver is a gift that any wine lover will appreciate!

I’ve wanted this beautiful stockpot for years and this year, I might just get it for myself! It’s functional but also looks so pretty sitting on the stove!

Chef Jean-George Vongerichten is one is one of the worlds most influential culinary innovators, known for his signature fusion of classic French cuisine and vibrant Asian flavors. I’m so excited for his collaboration with Williams Sonoma! This collection of signature sauces and rubs. Use them to enhance everything from meat and poultry to seafood and vegetables. A great gift, the set includes 10 exclusive blends.

I’ve given these Le Creuset cast iron ovens to all my daughters and they love them! This is a gift to keep forever and pass down!

This Pasta Maker is a gift I would love to receive (hint hint)!

Effortlessly craft delicious homemade pasta and noodles in a snap with the Philips Artisan Smart Pasta & Noodle Maker. The fully automated machine weighs the flour, then indicates the correct amount of liquid for perfect pasta dough. Simply choose a program then press "start" and the machine does the rest – mixing, kneading and extruding in one efficient process. This pasta maker has 10 different options of pasta shape, including spaghetti, fettuccine, penne, lasagna/dumplings, angel hair and thick spaghetti/ramen and makes up to 4 portions of pasta in 10 minutes or up to 8 portions in 15 minutes! There is nothing quite like freshly made pasta!

I hope you get some great ideas from this post! I’ll continue to add to it as I find more great items to give to the cooks in your life! Thanks so much for reading…
