Gift Guide 2011

December 16, 2011

It’s here. No fighting it. So what do you get your pretentious, foodie Secret Santa? Or your budding Julia Child kid sister?  Here are some ideas, big and small for everyone on your list.

 

How about this? A gorgeous marble rolling pin for your Buddy Valastro.

For your coworker wheeling around a banana bag of coffee? And make it fresh.

For the newly anointed 21.

Make your knucklehead burger loving brother feel like a beast. With a side of…

Christmas got your inner Martha going? Put some music on in the kitchen, grab a vintage apron, start dancin and knock out 20+ gifts.

Homemade vanilla extract. So fancy! So easy!

Knife skills got you worried about your bf’s keeping all his fingers? How about Jacques Pepin’s Complete Techniques.

Or for the newbie foodie? Bittman’s How to Cook Everything. Or an American classic?   Or a French one?

How about a basket of quirky kitchen tools for your quirky aunt?

How about being a tourist in your own city? North End market tours.  And forget sugarplums, Boston Chocolate Tours

Check out your local favorite restaurant. Chances are they offer cooking classes or wine tasting.

And the best gift of all. Ina would approve.

Really, chance are it doesn’t matter if you were naughty or nice. As long as you share the love these gifts produce all year long.

Happy holidays.
