great suggestions. thanks!
Glad you like them!
I am really wanting the Pioneer Woman cookbook.
It’s super cheap on Amazon right now…
What great suggestions. If no one buys them for me, I think I will treat myself to some, especially the Asian cookbook!
Awesome. You deserve it, my dear.
I have always wanted the tomato planter! I highly recommend the Silpats and Modern Spice!
I’ve never used silpats, but I’m curious. I think I may grab some for the holidays.
I am totally stuck on gift ideas this year, so I’ll be checking out a lot of these. Thanks!
Check out Joanne´s last blog post: We Wish You A …. What?
Anytime!
I agree that everyone should own a Silpat. It’s changed my world when it comes to pie crust!
New York foodies (who, admittedly, spend equal time dining out as in the kitchen, if not more) might want to check out Clean Plates NYC (the website is cleanplatesnyc.com) for a great foodie gift. Clean Plates is a great guide to Manhattan restaurants based on criteria of nutrition, sustainability, and of course, deliciousness! It’s got a ton of awesome restaurants, rated by the quality of their ingredients and the variety of their offerings (for veggies and meat eaters alike). They’re also running a holiday special – $13.95 per book. Good stuff.
Hi Chelsey, Thanks for the tip.
