All they want for Christmas is an endless stream of food.
For the friends in our lives who insist on a glass of sparkling water with a lime wedge instead of the regular tap, this is for you. For the food lovers in our lives.
Maybe you were thinking of taking them out for a glamorous meal somewhere exclusive, but they’ve likely visited the latest openings in town twice already. Instead of raising your hands in defeat, gift them some unusual treats that they would probably never think of getting themselves, such as Nissin bathroom accessories that transform a steaming bathtub into the bubbling surface of especially delicious cup noodles on a hangover morning.
Gifts for discerning foodies:
Everyone loves a good sausage board, there is no doubt about that. But the serious foodie in your life probably has a good idea where to get the best prosciutto or Manchego truffle or very ripe cheddar cheese. Surprise them with a pair better selection of the usual with the Pata Negra House Prestige Package: a collection of the prestigious gourmet selection of prestigious Iberian ham (cut from their own dedicated ham cellar, and the first in Asia! in San Po Kong), cheeses including Gouda truffle and 36- comté of months of aging, wholemeal biscuits and canned goose foie gras to recreate the best spread.
To those of you who made a commitment to phase out dairy by 2021, congrats, you made it (for the most part)! Your reward? The one product that many dairy-free ones are sure to miss the most: cheese. But not without breaking their dairy-free streak, of course. Nuteese replicates the beloved soft cheeses with their own plant-based recipes, with a 21-day aging process to obtain the same rich and deep flavors of the original. In this basket, there are five types of signature Nuteese cheese, including the most popular Cam Meets Brie, made from fermented cashew nuts, six different types of crackers, and a bottle of Champagne Brut Perrier-Jouët.
Chocolates for Christmas are normal. They are the ones you pick up at the last minute for those close friends, but not so close, when you didn’t know what else to buy. But these Ryan L. Foote chocolates aren’t part of it. Instead, this set counts as a very special and well thought out gift.
Nine little pieces of chocolate treats are remade with a very familiar Hong Kong flair and the chocolatier’s signature architectural shapes of peaks and jumps. There is Hong Kong French toast, Hong Kong egg tart and milk tea, among others less conventional such as Char Siu caramel, made with a mixture of five spices (chili, garlic, fennel, vinegar and sugar) and a center of caramel to recreate the sweet. -Tasty bar profile in an exquisite bite.
Look, they probably have a special wish. If it’s honey, this New Zealand Manuka Honey from Rare Harvest New Zealand is probably the gift for them. It’s part of a limited production of just 1,000 jars, produced by worker bees from The True Honey Company’s 6,000 hives. With a rating of the highest MGO / UMF grade, it also means that this is the purest quality of honey you can find. Now every breakfast will be a decadent affair as you scoop up oatmeal and buttered toast – a true breakfast for champions.
I’m not saying these cookies get universal recognition from your food-loving friends; they will probably insist that your recipe tastes better. But for the looks alone, these “Twelve Days of Christmas” Spice Cookies from Biscuiteers are a winner. Comes with all 12 members of the beloved cast of the catchy Christmas song, beautifully illustrated with detailed icing – the singing turtledoves and pipers and partridge in the pear tree, along with four gold musical notes for a very fun post, a satisfying Christmas dinner. .
Every good foodie has a stash of hot sauce; just open any of its cabinets and you will see a neat row of fiery red. Between the classic Chinese crunchy chili oil and a heartbreaking recipe for daunting ghost peppers, this one from Truff is a mild, easy-to-love addition (Oprah also names it as one of her favorites). Infused with black truffle with organic agave nectar and ripe chili peppers, it’s versatile enough to drizzle over pizzas and mix with pasta and noodles. I’m sure the home cook in your life will appreciate the challenge of creating magical new recipes with him.
You have probably been the recipient of their unsatisfied scruples. How “could have been spicier” or “saltier” or just “all better”. This trio of sauces from A Spark of Madness will give your next meal that sexual attraction They wanted so much – a kick of spices; a touch of umami. It’s what founder Simran Savlani made them for: “A wake-up call for the palate,” she calls them.
Totally vegan, the current selection features classic crunchy chilli oil, caramelized spring onion mixed with ginger and sesame, and a spicy creamy sauce simply called “Crack Sauce.” You will no doubt find yourself pouring scoops over every meal, from meatballs to fried rice to salad to even French fries.
