35 Not-Lame Kitchen Gifts For the Cook Who Has It All
While it might seem easy to shop for a friend or family member with a well-established hobby, since a related gift is a no-brainer, sometimes these can be the trickiest presents to nail as the recipient already has many of the basics. With that in mind, we've created a gift guide filled with the best nonbasic kitchen finds, perfect for the avid cook in your life. Items that they might not know they needed but will absolutely appreciate, like on-trend booze (sherry, Japanese whiskey, and mezcal), baking extras (like a marble pastry board), and superlative ingredients.
