Gift Guide: Gifts for the Fashionable Foodie

Gifts for the Fashionable Foodie
Here's a list of gifts for the Fashionable Foodie that our very own Sarah J. Gim has put together. She has scoured the internet in order to find tasty treats, table accessories and a home appliance or two that would all make good gifts if you've got a high fashion food lover on your list.

Starting at the top of the list, we have the Pink Handbag Cake from Dean and Deluca. It's pretty enough that your first inclination might be to tuck it under your arm, however it's true purpose is to be devoured. Tasty!

The String of Pearls Trivet looks like a larger version of your grandmother's pearls, but with a decidedly different purpose. You can twist them into a doubled coil for smaller pots or leave it one strand for larger ones. You can also make a figure 8 out of it, giving you enough space for a baking dish or two smaller serving bowls.

Gift Guide: Must haves for the new cook

Must haves for new cooks
Do you have newer cook on your holiday shopping list this year? Let me tell you about some of the things I can't live without in the kitchen. Starting in the top left hand corner is a basic, handled microplane. I use it for nutmeg, cheese, citrus zest, chocolate, garlic and ginger, making sure to wash it thoroughly in between uses. It's great for the new cook because it can play a lot of roles without taking up a whole lot of space.

Next is a series of Williams-Sonoma silicone spatula/spoonulas (or as we called them in my house while I was growing up, rubber scrapers). I have had their clear silicone spoonula for more than four years and it is still in great shape and I use it nearly every day. I especially love the fact that the silicone head does not pull away from the wooden handle, making it impossible for mildew and other crud to grow down there.

I believe that every cook should have a garlic press. I have this one from Zyliss and it has served me well since college. I even accidentally ran it through the garbage disposal briefly once, and it didn't seem to do much harm (though it does still bear a few scars from the incident).
