Foodie gifts

The hard part of buying for someone who cooks is that they have already bought the obvious things themselves. The pan, the knife, the grinder that took three weeks of research - those decisions are made, and made better than you could make them.

So the gifts that land are the ones they would not buy on a Tuesday. Something with a short shelf life and a strong opinion. Something whose whole value is that it came from outside their own shopping list.

Every gift below comes from a maker we selected and reviewed by hand.
