21 Gift Ideas for the Cook in Your Life

Kitchen Gear |

Brace yourself — We’re starting our move back to the U.S.

I’m excited about a lot of things – our house, the snow, exploring Colorado, Amazon delivery . . .

Actually, the Amazon delivery thing is towards the top of my list of things I’m looking forward to.

Of course Amazon has its Italian version.  But once you add the VAT (value added tax), that pretty much takes all the fun out of having Amazon deliver to your house in Italy.

The alternative is going through the military postal system.  You order, you track . . . to a point . . . and then you pray it gets through Italian customs and makes it to your mailbox! That’s what we’ve been doing for the last several years.

So — I’m excited to exercise my Amazon Prime membership in the U.S.

Yes.  It’s getting to be “that time of year” . . .

I’ve curated some pretty, useful, unique gift ideas for people who enjoy cooking for their friends and family.

These items are all available through Amazon.  (As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.)

I hope this guide helps you find the perfect gift for the cook in your life!

What are YOU wishing for???

Enjoy! – The Recipe Wench

This gorgeous glass cutting board.

I would use it as a serving tray!

This set of cheese knives includes a slate board. A bountiful cheeseboard is one of my favorite party dishes.

Serving bowls — these are wide and shallow. Ovenproof too. Great size for serving side dishes or even meal-size salads.

Gaby — one of my favorite bloggers and her new cookbook is due out in April.  So excited!

An adorable apron to protect your clothes. Essential!

Of course, he needs an apron too!

Because everyone needs edible flowers in their lives!

Cocktail infusions — always so much fun to experiment with!

How about a couple cocktail glasses and all the makings for a delicious drink? These glasses are so handsome, I’d probably have to up my whiskey drinking game!

A sea salt sampler. Add a few juicy steaks and sample away!

Wusthof cheese knives are perfect for the serious cheese connoisseur! These are gorgeous! (Jeff, our anniversary is coming up!)

For the truffle lover — a nice “Truffle Experience” A little drizzle over pasta would really up the game! This reminds me of the chestnut “sagra” we attended a few years ago.  Truffles were worked into several dishes served there.

A meat slicer.  Because . . . your neighbors don’t have one. Do you really need more convincing?!

You must know a cook/dog lover who needs this paper towel holder!

Bento boxes — for the cook who needs/likes to prep meals in advance!  I’ll be putting these to good use in 2018…

Linen cocktail napkins.  Fancy. Everyone needs these!  The beautiful hotel where we enjoyed sunset in Sicily (Taormina) had these.  I neeeed them!

And when the cook in your life takes a shower . . .  wine holders!

A meat thermometer will take the guesswork out of cooking that roast!  My new oven has a built-in thermometer.  This is the next best thing. Afterall, who really wants to risk overcooking an expensive Prime Rib Roast?  Not this girl!

A gorgeous serving board — I’m envisioning prosciutto!  And by that I mean the tender prosciutto I would cut with my very own meat slicer (see above)!  Right?

A napkin folding book — gotta have fancy folded napkins!

The Pioneer Woman cookbook.  Yes! One of these days I’m going to visit her “mercantile” in Okalahoma.  Road trip!

Useful, classy and unique -- this is a helpful gift guide for the cook in your life. Treat yourself!!! | The Recipe Wench
