Need Gift Ideas? Cooks Edition

I've rounded up some of my favorite all time Cooking gifts.....whether I was the giver or recipient!

Anything Treen

Karen Davis - Spoon Maker

http://spoonmakerkds.com/

My Mom and I usually go to a couple of craft fairs and the 127 Yard Sale just to see Karen and her spoons!

I have four of her pieces and LOVE them all!

I seriously don't know what I cooked with before them!

Her pieces are all hand made with wood she hand picks! 

I also love her different designs for right and left handed people.

I have 1 of  the "deep small wooden spoon". I need about 3 more! :) You can't go wrong with this one!

I purchased my Husband the "coffee scoop" and he loves it as well! I chose a manly dark wood!

MY FAVORITE purchase was the "tongs". They are by-far my favorite cooking utensil! Perfect for Bacon!

I noticed they are not on her website- but I got them at her booth at the 127!

I also have a "little ladle" that my Mother gave me! It is great for Chili and Soups!

And my Mother has a lot of her pieces as well and adores each one!

She loves the slotted spoon and the "005 Stir wooden spoon". Its slanted shape is great for stirring and scraping!

I saw a post on The Pioneer Woman's website about these pans!

Emile Henry Artisan Ruffled Pie Dish
I have to give all the credit to my Sister for this one!
She gave this pie dish to me!
Pie Dish!


Mine is the caramel color and I love it!
No more "crimping" the crust to make it beautiful......
JUST press it in the dish and it makes a ruffled crust for you!


#4
Salt Pig


If you are looking for a small gift or stocking stuffer, this is it!
My Mom gave me this Salt Pig that she picked up in Charleston, SC.
Mine is blue and I use it every time I cook!
It is meant for easy access to your Kosher salt!
Here is a place to purchase online.Salt Pig


#5
Butter Bells, Butter Crocks
Once again, I've got my Mom to thank!
These are the neatest things EVER!


This diagram is from Pleasant Hill Grain.

It really works! It is really nice to have access to soft butter anytime out on the counter!
Oh and this would be really nice gift if given with a Anything Treen's butter spreader! ;)



And if anybody needs a "Big Item" gift idea (ex: bread machine, stand mixer,etc), just ask me!
I'll tell you my personal favorites!

Happy Shopping!
