Starting Tomorrow: Twelve Days of Holiday Gifts!

I've gotten a lot of questions lately for recommendations for holiday gifts for different types of food lovers. There's the modern art lover, whose kitchen doubles as a (functional) art gallery. There's gourmet foodie, who can't get enough of truffles and caviar and cheese. There's the cook with kids, who's always looking for ways to get their children involved in the kitchen. And then there's the techie cook, who loves the latest kitchen gadgets. The list may go on and on, but as far as I can surmise there's about twelve categories that really count. So instead of the 12 days of Christmas, I'm starting a daily series called "12 Days of Holiday Gifts."

Each day I'll recommend budget-friendly, unique and memorable gift options for the following foodies in your life:

1. The Modern Art Lover
2. The Cook with Kids
3. The SciFi (aka Nerdy) Cook
4. The Cold Weather Cook
5. The Vintage Cook
6. The Bartender
7. The Gourmet Cook
8. The Hi-Tech Cook
9. The Home Baker
10. The Eco-Friendly Cook
11. The Wineaux
12. The Beginner Cook

Check back tomorrow for Day #1: Gifts For The Modern Cook!
