Gift Guide 2016: The Connoisseur.

Annd we’re to the home stretch. Our last gift guide of the holiday season. Lucky number nineteen. Today’s guide is for the connoisseur. This person appreciates life’s little pleasures. Delicious ice cream, a book that will turn them into an instant wine expert, truffle salt (my personal guilty pleasure – I put it on everything, from scrambled eggs to sliced cucumbers as a snack), lots and lots of cookbooks, and the best iced coffee ever (I’m obsessed with this kit – it makes brewing your own cold brew a cinch!) Speaking of coffee, my favorite coffee maker from Nespresso (I love it so much and use it every day) but also a really chic French press if that’s more your thing. Anyway. I hope you’ve enjoyed this season of gift guides… these were an absolute blast to put together!

    I wouldn’t call myself a connoisseur, but I do loveeee food a lot and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t, so this gift guide is actually really useful! The fries book looks super cool.

    Well this has certainly made me hungry! “Fries” by Jake Lingle really looks like something I should have in my own kitchen! Yum!
