Holiday Gift Guide: Cooking Aficionado

OMG Thanksgiving is tomorrow! I’m currently at my family’s farm in the middle of nowhere Kansas enjoying some quality family time. Compared to California it is freezing here! Thankfully I’ve been stowed away in the kitchen attempting to keep warm. Everyone has their favorite kitchen gadgets. Just in time for Black Friday I made a holiday gift guide perfect for the chef in your life!

1. Ice Cream Maker

If you miss ice cream like me, this is the perfect gift. It makes homemade ice cream so simple! 

2. Cake Pop Maker

This handy machine makes cake pops or donut holes in minutes.

3. Immersion Blender

Next to my hand chopper, this is my favorite kitchen gadget. It makes soups and sauces blended and creamy without having to transfer to the blender.

4. Thermapen Instant Read Thermometer

A reliable, accurate and fast meat thermometer is an absolutely must in any kitchen. 

5. Almond Flour

You can never have to much. It is pricy so it is a nice gift for a paleo baker. 

6. Nature Box

These treats might not be 100% paleo, but a great snack when you are cooking up a storm or on-the-go.

7. Silicon Baking Mat

Great for the eco-conscious cook who likes to cut down on clean up. Works great in place of foil.

8. Mortar and Pestle

A good mortar and pestle blends spices together to (something about consistency) in a dish.

9. Reusable Silicone Cupcake Liners

Another great gift for the green chef.

10. Mandoline Slicer

A must-have to thinly sliced veggies. Perfect for the sweet potato chip lover.
