Practical Gifts for the kitchen:

	1. A good knife or set of knives: A good knife gives you control over slicing/chopping. With a chef ‘s knife, it is easier to control blade movement through food, thanks to their sharpness. Furthermore, a sharp knife is much more predictable, reducing the risk of injuring yourself.
	2. A sous vide machine: This gadget is perfect for the home cook who loves experimenting in the kitchen. Sous vide is a cooking method that involves sealing food in a vacuum-sealed bag and cooking it slowly in water at a precise temperature. With a sous vide machine, they can perfectly cook meats, vegetables, and even desserts with ease.
	3. A tagine: A tagine is a cone-shaped cooking vessel traditionally used in Morocco; The base of a tagine is wide and shallow while the conical lid helps return condensed steam back to the food. The tagines from Emile Henry are good for cooking on all fires, induction and oven included.

4. A blender: Blenders are an essential tool in most kitchens, and these countertop tools are for more than just making smoothies. You can use this kitchen appliance to make sauces, dips, spreads, soup, beverages, desserts, and even burgers.

	5. An attractive dinner set: tableware is an essential element of any table, both for everyday use and for special occasions. Looks as good as it tastes? Did you know that thoughtful presentation leads to a more enjoyable meal and it has been proven that making something look good makes it effectively taste better too?
	6. Quality pots and pans: Just as any great carpenter requires the right tools to get the job done, so does a chef require the right tools - in this case pots and pans. We often don’t realise it, but pots and pans have a lot to do with the type of foods we cook and the quality and ease of preparing such meals.

These are just a FEW ideas.
