FinaMill Electric Grinder
Experience freshly ground flavour by grinding your own spices quickly and easily with FinaMill. This pepper mill can be used for so much more than just grinding pepper - in fact it can grind whole spices of all shapes and sizes.
It’s easy to used and operates with just one hand and a push of the button. It also comes with swappable grinding pods keep flavours distinct.
I love the sleek, minimalist design which looks great on your the counter and dining room table too.
Microplane Gourmet Series Dual Grater
I’m a perpetual fan for Mircoplane’s classic zesters and graters and have also recommended them in previous gift guides. This year Microplane have launches a new dual grater which is causing a buzz amongst foodies and celebrity chefs alike.
Microplane has combined its two of the most frequently used grating sizes – the fine blade and the coarse blade - to create this new grater.
The signature Microplane stainless-steel blades behave like extremely sharp knives to cut ingredients with precision rather than tearing or shredding like most stamped graters.
The blades ensure that food does not stick or block, but instead effortlessly slides along the cutting surface to produce perfect results every time while releasing all the natural aromas to enhance flavour.
An absolute must for preparing ingredients and creating gorgeous decorations perfectly, every day. This would make a practical and stylish gift for chefs, bakers and novices in the kitchen too.
Living Green Kitchen Storage Set
The new Typhoon Living range is fashionable, functional and ideal for foodies. I love the rich green range which offers storage containers and a bread bin.
These classy storage options are drawn from a one piece construction and made from carbon steel, meaning that it is extremely tough and durable as well as being lightweight.
The storage canisters are made with a sustainably sourced bamboo fibre lid, and feature an airtight seal to keep contents inside fresher for longer. They hold up to 1 litre capacity which is very generous, allowing you to store any kind of sugar, tea or coffee.
These are perfect for those with a compact kitchen as it helps keep things neatly stacked away.
Assure Elite Knife Block Set Gift Box
The Elite Assure 7 piece Knife Block Set features high-quality knives which are an essential in any kitchen. The slim-line stand in particular is a winner for me, as they don’t take up too much space on the worktop.
The taper ground blades are crafted from premium German stainless steel with a high carbon content to maintain a sharper cutting edge. The handle material provides optimum comfort and grip with a bolster located at the front, adding equal weight throughout the whole piece.
This set includes a Chef's Knife, Carving Knife, Bread Knife, Santoku Knife, Utility Knife and a Paring Knife - everything you need!
The Assure Elite Knife Block Set Gift box is available online from Viners.
OXO Good Grips POP Set of 5 Containers
There’s nothing better than a useful Christmas present and these POP storage containers from OXO tick the box!
Available in a wide range of shapes and sizes, I love that these containers fit into the small spaces in my kitchen cupboards and they are even stackable too. Perfect for storing any kind of dry goods, from tea bags, pasta, flour, rice, spices and more. Gift one, or five, there’s a use for them all!
OXO Ice Cube Tray Set
This covered Silicone Ice Cube Tray is ingenious, as it allows for easy removal, while the frame provides support during filling, moving and storage. The cover also keeps out odours and allows for stacking multiple trays.
Super convenient for those with small freezer space, and for those with larger freezers who want to keep them more organised!
Foodie Gifts for a Tastier Christmas
Rococo Christmas Collection
Rococo Chocolates’ are a year round favourite for me, and I certainly cannot resist them at Christmas!
This luxury chocolate range offers all the classics for Christmas – from chocolate truffle boxes to spiced artisan chocolate bars.
My personal favourites include Festive Salted Caramel truffles as these milk chocolate cocoa dusted truffles with a salted caramel centre are indulgent and ideal for sharing.
The Christmas nibbles are also popular, in particular their Winter Spiced Almonds and Cinnamon Nuts.
The traditional chocolate range is also still available over Christmas, and I’d recommend stocking up on the Chocolate wafer thins including the Sea Salt Blonde Chocolate Wafer Thins.
Rococo’s range is ideal for stocking fillers, after dinner chocolates, and luxury gifting too.
Torabhaig Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Torabhaig Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a relative newcomer to the whisky scene and one to take note of. The Distillery at Torabhaig is only the second ever licensed Single Malt Scotch Whisky distillery on the Isle of Skye.
Their second single malt release, Torabhaig Allt Gleann, is named for one of the spring water burns (streams) that feed the distillery, and it is the one I’d recommended trying, and gifting.
Aromas of heathery smoke honey and barley sugars are complemented by notes of vanilla and bonfire smoke. The notes of sweet spices make this a great post-Christmas lunch drink to settle into.
The Distillery at Torabhaig is only the second ever licensed Single Malt Scotch Whisky distillery on the Isle of Skye. The Excise Act of 1823 first sanctioned legal whisky distilling in Scotland almost 200 years ago, with the first licence on Skye being granted not long thereafter, so one could say it was about time.
Tracklements
Tracklements are a favourite in my household all year around, and especially so at Christmas.
Their new Festive Goodies box is packed with something to bring joy to everyone, including an irresistible Sticky Fig Relish, Cranberry, Port & Orange Sauce, the original Caramelised Onion Marmalade, Spiced Honey Mustard and Christmas Spice Chutney Le Parfait.
The range is still handmade in Wiltshire, abiding to traditional recipes, whilst buying the best quality ingredients sourced locally wherever possible to ensure the products taste as good as, if not better than, homemade.
An essential for every Christmas table, this is a gift worth buying for yourself too!
A Good Old-Fashioned Christmas Whisky
The release of a festive whisky has become a cherished tradition at The Whisky Exchange and this year’s Christmas Whisky 2022 unveils a merry liquid and the perfect toast for the Christmas season.
A whisky that cannot be found anywhere else, this festive marriage brings together rich sherry-matured whisky from Blair Athol with elegant old grain from Strathclyde and Cameronbridge, classic Speyside malt from Glen Elgin and spicy new-oak-matured Linkwood to create a dram that’s packed with Christmas flavour.
Share it as a thoughtful gift with your favourite whisky lover or enjoy it after the turkey on Christmas Day.
A Good-Old Fashioned Christmas Whisky 2022 is available via thewhiskyexchange.com and in The Whisky Exchange.
