Five Gifts for Cooks
Holiday Gift Guide for Anyone from the New Housewife to an Experienced Chef
This new trend in bakeware is certain to be the hottest thing in cooking gifts this holiday season. Silicone bakeware is wonderful, as it is oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher safe. It's naturally non-stick surface will not wear down or rub off, and will help reduce fat in foods, since pans do not need to be coated with margarine or cooking spray. It is relatively inexpensive, and can be found at many retail stores, such as Linen N Things and Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Check out this set at Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
2. Cast Iron Corn Bread Pan
Traditionally, corn bread was always cooked in a cast iron pan, which is still the best way to cook it. The crust comes out crispier and the corn bread is just tastier overall. This one from Williams-Sonoma produces corn bread in the shape of ears of corn; they even have kernel imprints!
3. Rachael Ray Cookbook
Since the launch of her new daytime talk show, Rachael Ray's popularity has absolutely sky rocketed! Her meal ideas are both practical and unique, while fairly easy at the same time. She has published several cookbooks, and any of these would make a great gift.
4. Williams-Sonoma Gift Card
If you have a friend or family member who really loves to cook, it's hard to know what items they do and do not have in their kitchen. At the same time, every cook loves to get new things for their kitchen! With a Williams-Sonoma Gift Card, a person can shop online or in store for whatever their heart desires. Visit the Williams-Sonoma website where you can purchase a gift card online, or search for the store nearest you.
5. Trader Joe's Gift Card
Those who love to cook love cooking with the freshest, healthiest of ingredients, which is exactly what Trader Joe's provides! Trader Joe's can be found all over the country, but you may want to visit the website to make sure that there is one near your friend or family member before buying a gift card for them.
