As a wise woman named Julia Child once said, "People who love to eat are always the best people." We couldn't agree more. Is there a more solid friendship than one that has been built around a common love of food? We think not. Nothing bonds two people more than cooking in a kitchen together or sharing some plates out at a new tapas restaurant.
When you need a gift to celebrate that friendship, and the person who's always down to try out a new restaurant with you, we recommend these fun, foodie gifts. Some you can enjoy together, like the Murray's Cheese Box or the raw honeycomb (who knew you could buy that on Amazon?). Others allow you to enjoy the fruits of their labor as they make or grow something delicious at home, like a hot sauce or oyster mushrooms. Think of all the delicious dishes you'll be able to cook together!
If you've got someone in your life who is more into booze than food, check out this whiskey lover's gift guide, beer lover's gift guide, and gifts for wine connoisseurs. Or if your bestie is more of a baker than a chef, browse this list of gifts perfect for the dessert lover. While you are at it, here's a list of homemade food gifts to bring to any holiday party that all hosts will appreciate. Homemade is always best.
