Top 5 Foodie Favorites & Gourmet Food Gifts
1) Ceramic Rice Cooker
This ceramic rice cooker makes a delicious pot of rice every time. Cordless and compact, it boils on the stove for a few minutes and retains heat as it simmers and sits. Its lid ensures water won’t boil over, while condensation drips down to prevent freshly cooked rice from drying out.
2) Grilling Spice Gift Set
Fire up the grill with some new flavors. This set of grilling spices was curated to help take grilled proteins and veggies in a tasty new direction. It includes three of Curio Spice Co.’s signature (and unique) spice blends along with applewood smoked sea salt from Maine and recipe cards for inspiration. It’s all directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure freshness and purity.
3) Cold Brew Tea Gift Set
Make your afternoon tea an iced one with a cold brew tea gift set. Cold brewing is a slow and gentle way to infuse tea that creates more intense flavors and aromas. This set has everything you need to brew your own at home, including organic and orthodox loose leaf teas. This means the tea is hand-picked and processed according to traditional practices and it is all sourced from small-scale, non-industrial tea farms. Brewing is easy—just steep the tea overnight in the container, strain, and enjoy.
