The Best Gifts for People Who Love Food

We’re not supposed to play favorites, but we think people who love food — cooking it, eating it, reading about it, and watching endless YouTube videos about it — are the best people to shop for. For one, there’s so much fun, useful, beautiful stuff out there, from handsome wine carafes to splatterware mixing bowls, that are guaranteed to delight. And secondly — and perhaps most crucially — your giftee is likely to use the gift you give them to make something delicious to share. Below, find the best gifts for those who love all things food, as curated by the online shopping obsessives at our sister site the Strategist.
