Unique Gift Ideas For The Home Chef

‘Tis the season for giving and although this year may be a little different around the holidays, it’s always nice to send fun gifts to your friends and family. Since we all have been spending more time at home, and most likely cooking more or learning to cook, I thought a gift guide featuring some of my favorite kitchen accessories would be a great feature!

1. All-Clad 4-Quart Sauté Pan – This is one of my favorite and most used pans in my kitchen.
2. KitchenAid Cordless Immersion Blender – This is a tool that I use more than I thought I ever would! It’s great for easily blending soups and sauces.
3. Colorful Cutting Boards – You honestly can never have enough cutting boards! These are non-slip and have a drip-groove around the edge to keep from liquid messes happening on your countertop.
4. Instant Read Meat Thermometer – Cooking meat to the proper temperature requires a meat thermometer. It’s also great for measuring the heat of milk or water when activating your yeast for baked goods.
5. Instant Pot – If you don’t own one of these yet, add it to your Christmas list! They are so versatile and there are some great recipes out there that can help you simplify your cooking.
6. Food Processor – A 9-cup food processor is the perfect size for all of your chopping needs. This is the owe that I own and it works like a dream.
7. Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Speaker – I know this isn’t something you cook with but I keep one of these in my kitchen to get the party going every time I cook! I connect it to Pandora on my phone and pick a station based on my mood.
8. Dutch Oven – Braising is one of my favorite ways to cook and I used my Dutch oven throughout all of the comfort food months! This is a great brand but there are also higher level Dutch ovens out there if you’re looking to splurge.
9. Riedel Wine Tumbler – Food and wine go hand in hand and these glasses are my favorite in my own home! Pair them with a nice bottle of wine for a great gift.
10. Olive Wood Utensils – Olive wood is absolutely gorgeous and every kitchen could always use a new set of utensils!
