The gift guide for home cooks is actually just a gift guide for everyone. Even the person with the highest takeaway bill in your life needs a good coffee machine, and those whose home bars are comparable to your local bar might use some extra help on their spice drawer. As long as they like a good meal and a well-made drink, you will find something here. 

Yes, there are all kinds of beautiful and practical cooking utensils, as well as some of our favorite new appliances, some of which you will want to pack for yourself (of course we won't tell you). There are also some thoughts on each gift-giving scene you listed on the list. An impressive gift under the tree? complete. The perfect package (not too expensive) to send to a colleague? We found it. Communicate with those impossible secret Santas? It's all here

In this year, our kitchen and dining table are still refuges, which may not be as eased as many people expected. From a jar of better olive oil to a special whiskey to our favorite cast iron skillet, these gifts will help strengthen this culinary mecca. 

We have been testing cast iron frying pans throughout the year, and we think this frying pan from Smithy is the best model for most people. The 12-inch size can hold a lot of food, but it is not bulky even if you only cook meals for one or two people; the smooth, polished surface actually meets the promise of "naturally non-sticky", while other new cast iron brands do not; it is deep enough , You can fry things, making it a multi-faceted kitchen workhorse; although it is expensive, it is not prohibitive, especially if you use it every day, this is what we do.

Can a blender be sexy? This is a question for which we didn't know the answer until the arrival of the beast this year. Although this device is particularly suitable for fitness people, because you can easily make a smoothie and put it in the same container that you mix with, it is also versatile enough to be a blender in your kitchen. This particular kit includes multiple mixing containers, take-out accessories, and an infusion chamber for making flavored water.  

Known as "a slice of Italy in one's own backyard", Gozney Roccbox is the dream of all pizza lovers. Able to reach temperatures as high as 950°F, a bite-sized toaster is as good as a professional-grade oven, and you can instantly get the perfect pizza shortbread. Because it can be packaged, it is a great camping (maybe glamping) accessory, and the built-in thermometer means you never have to worry about the fate of the pie.

In recent years, professional coffee machines have received a lot of attention: dumping coffee machines, French coffee machines, Chemex. With Café, you will get a 10-cup brewer that provides all the characteristics (including brewing strength and temperature) that a coffee snob might require, as well as all the conveniences that someone who grew up with Folgers might want (you can Choose from four simple brewing modes)). In addition, staying on the counter all day is enough.

If your ideal gift plan includes sharing an indulgent gift that your target recipient may not buy for yourself, then Truff's high-quality, truffle-infused hot sauce is effortless. Of course you can choose a separate bottle, whether you want the classic chili mix, white truffle flavor or something more spicy, but you should probably choose a variety of packaging, which now includes the best-selling packaging, which is a new combination that includes Two hot sauces and truffle olive oil. The latter was launched to celebrate Truf’s third year on Oprah’s favorite things list, and it’s all the recognition you really need.

Although we give all the love and attention to wooden cutting boards, even if you are a capable scrubber, they have a tendency to absorb odors. When we need an alternative to traditional cutting boards, we will use Material's reBoard made from recycled plastic sugarcane, which provides a sustainable and stable surface on which to slice and dice. It has a convenient hanging hole, which allows you to be more organized in a messy kitchen, and the color adds a sense of fashion to the otherwise plain products.

Atlas Obscura is a travel website that successfully cataloged the wonders of the world that are still exciting in the age of ubiquity of the Internet. In 2017, it added a food branch, Gastro Obscura. Now, a book has been written to provide a different perspective from ordinary cooking guides. This is not necessarily about the best places to eat in the world, but a deep diversity of things we usually take for granted, from coffee in Victorian urinals to spiced hemp milk served during Holi festival in India. 

What do you think of someone who seems to have eaten everything? A kind of pasta that was invented this year. Cascatelli means "waterfall" in Italian and is a brand new pasta shape designed by Dan Pashman of James Beard's award-winning podcast The Sporkful. This has been a huge hit so far, which means that if you want to order in time for the holidays, you will want to order a box right away. In fact, two are best.

When you give this can of California olive oil, please be sure to include a note: Do not use it for cooking. When you cook with olive oil, you lose all flavor complexity. So handmade jars like this can only be used for finishing, whether it's in salad dressing, pours on meat or roasted vegetables, or just to soak their homemade bread.

Okay, it's 2021. This means that if you haven't already, you should probably compost. In this regard, the behavior need not be difficult or rough. Bamboo Composter’s countertop device is a perfect example: chic and discreet, it can easily be mistaken for just another jar or container already in your kitchen, but when you know that this little guy is saving the planet, a banana, You will have a warm fuzzy feeling peeling at once. It has all the modern features that make composting so easy today, like not one, but two carbon blocks that can eliminate any potential odors, dishwasher-safe design and smooth bamboo appearance.

They have made sourdough, canned salsa and home-brewed beer, but if your consignee hasn’t stepped out of the spice shelves of a large grocery store near them, please change their entire worldview through this collection by Diaspora Co.. The young company sources spices from a single source from small farms in India and Sri Lanka. This starter pack includes nine of the best-selling spices, from coriander to whole nutmeg. Their dinner is about to become more delicious. 

The least valued tool in the home kitchen is the apron. Thanks to the design help of actual chefs, Hedley & Bennett offers some of the best products in the industry, with a variety of styles, from heavyweight wax canvas to a new collaboration with Grateful Dead. However, this Denver style is your best choice because it has a unisex appeal, it looks good no matter what you wear that day, and it can easily be thrown into the washing machine when the grease splash is a little out of control. 

For the person in your life who is obsessed with Trader Joe's (we all have), the memoir of the founder of the chain, Joe Coulombe, is surprisingly vibrant, who passed away last year. It’s like the best episode of NPR’s "How I Built This Podcast", especially for the entrepreneurs in your life, but they don’t need to start their own business to appreciate this description of one of the biggest surprises of success .

Earlier this year, we looked at Benchmade's new tableware. Although there are many kitchen knives to consider, we found that the most interesting is Station Knife. With the width of the chef's knife and the precision of the paring knife, Station may eventually become their most commonly used blade. The spring used for CPM-154 stainless steel is stronger and harder to cut.

The situation is this: you need to send a gift to someone's office (real office or home office). Maybe a friend, maybe a colleague. You want something thoughtful, but not too much. Input: A gift box of cookies from Levain, a New York City agency. Yes, they do offer frozen aisle boxes in the grocery store now, but nothing can compare to these monsters that bake to order. You can get a variety of packages, but there is a reason why Chocolate Chip Walnut is the best-selling flavor.

This set of two vintage pairs of glasses from the Watford short story series is designed by Aras, "The vertical cut represents the eye-catching turret architecture of many beautiful castles in Ireland." Don't let them drink such good whiskey in a second-rate glass . 

Don't jump on the latest cookware trends, but buy this 2-quart pan from Food52 and Dansk, a household brand that supports Scandinavian design in the middle of the century. This particular piece is made of enamel carbon steel, the top doubles as a tripod, the wooden handle that keeps cool when cooking, and a series of bright colors that can add a sense of relaxation to midwinter meals. 

This is probably the best cocktail book shot this year. Let us see the story behind the drinks served by Katana Kitten, Masahiro Urushido, a New York bar. Also, you really want to learn how to make Hinoki Martini.

Coffee beans for spirits drinkers are provided through the owners of the major boutiques Fine & Rare and The Flatiron Room in New York City. These are not alcohol, but the beans (from Colombia, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico) are aged in barrels and will definitely give off some unique flavors. The starter kit will include a bag of bourbon barrel-aged beans, a rye-aged bag, a bottle of mixed coffee (not barrel-aged), a stainless steel dripper, an enamel camping cup and a portable hand grinder. Or you can buy the beans separately. 

Three 8 ounces. Bottled tonics can be paired not only with gin and vodka, but also with tequila and black wine. Classic, elderflower and extra bitter flavors-once you use these (you provide wine and some soda), you will never go back to the plastic tonic bottle in the supermarket.

Vacuum insulated, sweat-free, stainless steel koozies can keep your beer at the ideal temperature. It's a perfect gift, it doesn't seem worth the money (especially when you have a drawer full of free promotional candies), but once you buy it for them, they will never reach out for cold ones again Without it. 

Fellow's grinder has been on our favorite list for some time, and for good reason. In addition to the beautifully designed frame, Kickstarter graduates also have more than 30 grinding settings, professional-grade flat burrs, and a series of features that make the machine value for money. The easy-to-use Fellow is the perfect gift for any coffee snob, and ideal for baristas.

A $70 cocktail smoking set-most of which are two to three times the price-proves that you can easily complete luxurious smoky cocktails. You should choose the $95 option, which includes sawdust, but this is not the only ingredient in the torch; you can use cinnamon, vanilla, anise or even lemon zest, as our in-depth review taught us.

A series of kits made by bartenders—each kit will make about four drinks—to raise revenue for breast cancer research and care through the Pink Agenda. We are particularly excited about the Como la Mujer Kit by Ana Cabrera Marquez, which somehow turned Scotch into fruity sips.

You can really choose any Wood Finish series from Maker's and enjoy it, but each one brings some unique flavor characteristics. FAE here stands for fatty acid ester, this version is about texture. The barrel-strength version is full-bodied, full-bodied, and has a sweet caramel flavor similar to the previous Maker's Mark version in the 2020 series. 

This Paso Robles vineyard is aged in custom French oak barrels for 22 months, using classic winemaking techniques and cutting-edge technology to produce the highest quality and most balanced California Bordeaux-style blended red wine. 

Alcohol-free spirits for a while. Just launched, these non-alcoholic botanical spirits (made by master brewers) are inspired by Southern California origins. Served with tonics and soda, the three flavors (light, fresh and smoky) here are mild and delicious.
