Here's a short list of gift ideas that looked interesting to us. Happy holidays!
Loves Wine:
Visit the Terroir gift store for a selection of wine themed T-shirts presumably designed by the grape guy himself, Paul Grieco. T-shrits like the one celebrating winemaker, Bartolo Mascarello, poster-man for sticking to traditional methods of producing wines while everyone else looked for the short-cut as well as a simple shirt that says, "jerez de la frontera" are available, each for $19.
Loves a Variety of Meats:
Pick up a house made terrine from chef Pierre Landet of Cercle Rouge. A half-pound (minimum order) serves 4-5 people and costs $47.50 and can be ordered by calling 212-226-6252 before Dec.
19. Would make for a nice hostess gift or Christmas day hors d'oeuvres.
Loves Pig and Beer:
Purchase a gift certificate to Blue Hill's 4th annual sausage and beer dinner. Partake of this 5-course banger and brew fest at Blue Hill Manhattan ($150) or upstate at Blue Hill at Stone Barns ($190). The dinner will feature fresh and cured sausage and meats paired with locally brewed beers. Check out Blue Hill's newly designed website and watch video of some of the featured farms that Blue Hill sources their product from.
Loves the Ocean:
Marx Foods has several different oyster samplers to choose from. You can order 3 dozen live Pacific oysters for $105 or choose the Live Oyster Sampler, which includes 4 dozen Pacifics, Kumamotos, Virginicas, and Olympias for $114.
The Book Lover:
Whenever we interview a chef, we ask what cookbook inspires them. One of the most recommended books is Ma Gastronomie by the legendary French chef, Fernand Point. This outstanding book was just republished and includes a forward by Thomas Keller.
