The privilege is not lost on me: to be married to a chef is to have someone who is legally forced to dote on you, and make sure you are well fed and that the fridge is always stocked with in-season produce and grass-fed proteins. Through osmosis, I’ve absorbed many of my spouse’s quirks since living together for half a decade, like having my finger on the pulse of what a food enthusiast or home cook should own for maximum pleasure and efficiency in the kitchen.
When shopping for my chef husband, or someone with equally discerning taste in kitchen equipment, gadgets and edibles, I look at two things: what are real-life chefs using in their commercial or personal kitchens? What’s really blowing up on social media right now, and is it worth the hype?
To shop for a foodie is such a treat that it brings me great delight to share these thoughtful gift ideas with you from brands like Breville, KitchenAid and Hedley & Bennett, just in time for holiday entertaining and feasting.
