You’ll find some interesting gifts for your favorite cooks in this post. I’ve tried to select a range of gift items for people who love to cook, from condiments to cooking tools, with varying price levels from inexpensive to extravagant.
Acid League’s All The Alliums Sauce
Acid League’s All The Alliums sauce is just the thing for experimenting in the kitchen. This sauce, made from onions, shallots, and fermented black garlic and tangy dijon mustard vinegar works in marinades, salad dressings, crispy potatoes, or dripped on sandwich fillings. The possibilities are endless.
Acid League has lots of other interesting offerings, such as Wild Mushroom Starter, Red Wine Vegetable Starter, or Oak-Aged Tamari. This Big League Vinegar Kit looks delicious!
Momofuko Chili Crunch
A spicy, crunchy blend of three types of Mexican chilis, crunchy garlic, and shallots, this Chili Crunch will spice up noodles, eggs, or favorite grilled foods.
Momofuko Chili Crunch also comes in extra spicy or black truffle versions.
To give all the fixings for several noodle meals, choose Momofuko’s Best Seller Pack, which comes with bags of three types of noodles, Chili Crunch, soy sauce, and Savory Seasoned Salt.
Masienda’s Pura Macha Salsa Trio
As Masienda’s description of these salsas says, “Salsa macha is very much a greater-than-the-sum-of-its-parts situation.” The flavor combinations sound amazing. This trio of salsas includes: Guajillo + Cranberry + Hazelnut, Chipotle + Coffee + Peanut, Guajillo + Cherry + Cacao Nib. These would be delicious spooned on quesadillas, eggs, rice, or just scooped up with a tortilla chip.
For a simpler stocking stuffer or host gift, you can purchase a single jar of salsa. You can also pick up a tortilla starter kit, with two kinds of masa and a tortilla press, for the cook who wants to make their own.
Hedley & Bennet Apron
Known for their quality and attention to detail, Hedley & Bennet aprons are perfect for anyone who spends a lot of time cooking. These aprons have lots of great features, such as generous pockets and a utility loop that can hold a kitchen towel while cooking. The adjustable straps make them customizable to fit more comfortably.
The aprons come in many appealing colors and designs. I love the Herb Garden apron, a collaboration with Rifle Paper Company.
Manresa Bread’s Baguette Baking Kit
Give someone the ingredients and tools needed to bake baguettes with this kit from Manresa Bread. This winter they can fill the house with the comforting scents of baking bread. There’s even a link to a recorded baking session, so that they can see how it’s done before getting started.
Dansk Kobenstyle One-Quart Saucepan
I love the form and function of Dansk Kobenstyle cookware. This adorable red one-quart saucepan would make a lovely gift. The wooden handle stays cool and the cover can rest on the table and serve as a trivet for the pan.
You can purchase this saucepan, and several other Kobenstyle pans, in a very appealing set of colors.
Schmidt Brothers Carbon 6 Grill Tool Set
This grill set seems like the Cadillac of grilling tools. Made from 100% high-carbon stainless steel, they look durable. They have extra long handles. Look at the angle of the baster, which seems very smart.
