Top 5 Cooking Gifts
1) End Grain Double Cheese Board
Serve to impress. From log to glossy, end grain cheese board—it’s all harvested and assembled locally in a small Nova Scotia mill. They cut the Larch wood to expose its intricate patterns and gradients. But besides the aesthetic benefits, the flexible end grain will self-cleanse and self-heal after you cut. It even has rubber feet to prevent moisture from getting trapped. With proper care and seasoning, this heirloom cutting board will last you a lifetime.
2) Ergonomic Ice Cream Scoop
What happens when an aerospace engineer is also an ice cream enthusiast? You get a space-grade, ergonomic, ice cream scoop that’ll last you a lifetime. Midnight Scoop was engineered so that you use your arms—not your wrists—when you scoop, to avoid strain. Enjoy.
3) Set of 3 Sizes
Use the warmth of your hands to mold the Bee's Wrap around bread, cheese, vegetables, or cover a bowl. The antibacterial properties of the beeswax and jojoba oil help to keep food fresh.
4) Shaker Rolling Pin
The Shaker Rolling Pin is a classic—possibly the same design your grandmother used. With simple lines and a solid feel, it rolls quickly at a weight of almost two pounds.
5) “Vanilla" Book by Patricia Rain
Follow along with recipes from the Vanilla Queen, Patricia Rain, as she traces the history of vanilla across the globe and back to its earliest days. Learn how to let this versatile spice shine in any cuisine. Don’t just limit yourself to cookies and cakes—vanilla is a stealthy flavor enhancer in savory dishes, too.
