Christmas Gift Guide – Kitchen Edition
Almost everyone I know has someone on their gift list that spends a lot of time in the kitchen. And some are just like me and do so on purpose!!
Now, in the days before I really started to pay attention to my passion for baking, if Tim had bought me a French rolling pin for Christmas I likely would have beat him over the head with it.
My how things have changed! Each and every year there will be at least one thing on my list that I want for the kitchen.
Who better to turn to for ideas to create the very best Christmas Gift Guide – Kitchen Edition than my fellow Taste of Home Volunteer Food Editors. And they didn’t let me down. Almost everything on the list I have in my own kitchen. The few I don’t are now on my wish list too! There is something for any kitchen enthusiast on your list.
