I like cooking, so its natural that I get a lot of food-related gifts. I also buy a lot of food-related gifts for myself. Here, in no specific order, are the things I think the foodie in your life might love this holiday season. 

The New Joy of Cooking. I have this book, and I haven’t had time to dig into it. But I’m going to do it on my holiday break, and you can expect a full rundown soon. 

Either of Alison Roman’s cookbooks, which are a joy to read and full of dishes that I love to eat. 

A nice cocktail book. We use our copy of the Death & Co. book more than I should probably say. Pair it with a nice shaker or spoon from Cocktail Kingdom. 

This flexible dough scraper, which I love. Or this set of silicone cups with pour spouts and lids that we use almost daily. Or a Yeti mug, which we also use almost daily at our house.

I wore my Artifact Apron at our annual holiday party (I actually was cooking!) and I got more compliments on my apron than I did on my soup or my outfit underneath the apron. The one I have is the one pictured above. Best of all? They’re Omaha-made, and you’ll look as cool as all the Omaha chefs and bartenders who wear them, too.
