For the Foodie and the Sweet-Tooth

 

Being quite food-obsessed and an extreme chocoholic, I love this time of year!  Right now, it's all about indulgence until New Years resolutions must take place.  I love giving and receiving foodie gifts and sweets.  Here are some more of my picks.  Let the last-minute frenzy begin! 

 

 

The Food Snob's Dictionary - Entertaining and authentically informative, this travels through the alphabet explaining the buzz-terms that fuel the food-zealots, from "Affinage" to "Zest," with stops along the way to explain "grass-fed," "farmstead," "dry-farmed" and "Sous-Vide."  It is all served up with a huge dollop of wit!

It Doesn't Count if...It's the Last One - There's nothing fun about dieting.  Except cheating!  More than 200 reasons why you can eat what you want without a hint of guilt!

 

 

 

Cook Up A Cookbook: Create Your Own Recipe Book From Scratch - Create a cookbook full of all your recipes.  This kit provides you with the tools and inspiration to help you organize, personalize and preserve your recipes for posterity.

Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Julia Child - If you know of an enthusiastic home cook who hasn't already been inspired to buy this book after watching Julie & Julia, this is the gift for them!  Bon Appetit!

 

 

 

Hand-Cut Glass Bottle Stopper - 3 shapes to choose from, comes in a lovely gift pouch.

 

 

 

English Toffee Bar - Each box has an assortment of milk and dark chocolate.

Holiday Bark Bar Gift Box - Gorgeous assortment of 3 holiday barks - Hazelnut Crunch Bark, Chocolate Peppermint Bark, Chocolate Gingerbread Bark.

Chocolate-Covered Graham Crackers - My favourite with both milk and dark chocolate!
