The holidays are a time of gift giving, so to keep that foodie in your life happy, we’ve put together a gift guide that will make every cooking enthusiast – from beginner cook to seasoned chef – thrilled with their holiday bounty. So whether it’s an aunt, uncle, or spouse, here’s a roundup of perfect gifts for foodies that will please any food enthusiast.
A Tasting Box
The Hatchery is an online marketplace for food, where you can find everything from pumpkin mole sauce to Korean bar-b-que sauce. And while all of those niche products can be hard to choose from, they have a subscription service, which can be the perfect present for adventurous foodies. Their Tasting Box costs a mere twenty bucks a month and comes with a handful of spices, sauces, and other seasonings to try. Each product is made from small, local producers, and even comes with a small card giving you a history of the company and the product.
Foodie T-Shirts
We may be a little partial to our foodie tees, but there’s no denying that they make great gifts for foodies for the holidays. Whether your loved one is a whiz on the grill or prefers a vegetarian lifestyle, there’s a foodie tee to match your lifestyle.
DIY Molecular Gastronomy Kit
We talk a lot on here about innovation in cooking, and what better way to put that creativity into action than by taking a shot at your own molecular gastronomy. For those who aren’t familiar with the culinary trend, molecular gastronomy is the merging of food and chemistry. It’s also a bit of an art form. This kit will teach you how to play with the chemical compounds of foods to turn them into something new, for instance making solids into a powder, morphing vegetables into jellied masterpieces, and other fun things.
The World Kitchen Box
Want to take a culinary trip around the world, but can’t afford the price tag? This is the next best thing. The World Kitchen Box brings a world of culinary delights right into your home. Unlike the Tasting Box, this package includes more than just food – it also features useful kitchen utensils and supplies from around the globe.
Dandelion Gift Box
If holiday gifts for foodies don’t seem complete without a set of sweets, then this is probably the gift for you. Kika’s Treats features a combo package of homemade shortbread, along with specialty chocolatier treats ranging from coconut shortbread to Madagascar chocolate. This limited edition basket is perfect for your loved ones with a serious sweet tooth.
