Christmas is coming, and with him the traditional gifts. If some have already advanced well in their purchases, for others on the other hand it is the dry tip. But if you have someone close to you who is attracted by the world of cuisine and gastronomy, our journalist Marion Sauveur has made a selection of gift ideas to make your life easier. Small or big greedy, salty or sweet, you will certainly find a gift that will delight one of your loved ones.
From salty to sweet ...
Small and practical, the brand Nomie offers spice jars. You have the choice between raclette pepper, specially designed to sprinkle on cheese, or Sansho berries from Japan. Similar to pepper, these berries tingle and release green citrus flavors. It is therefore recommended to use it with fish, or fruit salad.
If the salty leaves you marble, perhaps it should opt for sweet with French spreads. Chocomiel offers a jar that mixes honey and chocolate. La Frenchi's range also offers products without palm oil and without additives. Several flavors are available: dark chocolate peanut, and fleur de sel caramel. For its part, the house Colibri, madeleines specialist, offers a personalized box. You will find 15 madeleines for 25 euros.
... to cookbooks
But cooking is also recipes, and therefore books. In this category, the three-star chef Pierre Gagnaire offers "The friends first", a book that includes recipes for the holidays. On the side of desserts, Yann Couvreur offers "Ephemeral", a book for lovers of pastry who want to make real works of art at home. As for unusual books, Mireille Sanchez invites you to a world tour of recipes ... with chicken. 1,000 recipes are referenced in this book that invites to travel.
For big budgets ...
What if Christmas lasted all year? This is the concept of the box "Moi chef" who offers for 80 euros, five exceptional products chosen by a chef, a magazine with recipes, and advice once a quarter. As for those who love big pots that simmer dishes for hours, the Japanese cooker Maho Nabé has the distinction of having a double wall to retain heat. Once out of the fire, she is able to keep it for 40 minutes.
... and children
There is no age to be greedy. If you have a child to introduce to the kitchen, Opinel has thought of you with the kit "The little chef" which includes a knife, a peeler, and a finger guard. Because we do not laugh with security.
