Food Gifts and a Recipe for Pistachio, Chocolate & Cherry Biscotti

Happy Monday!  If you’re here for the Pistachio, Tart Cherry and Chocolate Biscotti recipe, that’s bonus content for paid subscribers.  Scroll to the bottom!

I posted a great general gift guide last week and I have a separate gift list for food gifts of course!  If you know the recipient well, you can gift them anything you know they love and use often.  If someone gifted me a box of Pique Ceremonial Matcha for example, I would be overcome with gratitude!!  Here are some goodies on my radar this year:

Zabar’s Chrismakkuh Box Perfect for families celebrating both holidays. I love Zabar’s babka!

Giadzy Perfect Pasta Pomodoro Box All my favorite things and the gold wrapped olive oil might have sold me on this.

Jacobsen Salt Disco di Sale Ok this is so clever - the perfect amount of salt to season a pot for cooking pasta.

Flamingo Estate Personalized Olive Oil  If you are a creative writer, this is for you. Flamingo Estate is a local brand with very elevated, high quality products. So many gifts items, but this one stood out! $20 off your first order with this link

Mild Addictions Chocolate Bars with Date Filling and other flavors Ugh soooooo good. And the packaging is cute as a button.

Russ and Daughters Caviar Set A luxury gift for the foodie who has everything!

Wild Grain Box I have been buying Wild Grain breads and pastries for years and now my daughters have their own subscriptions.  Unfortunately, I don’t have a discount code right now, but their products are GREAT! We love all the breads, croissants, biscuits, cookies and pastas.  They stay frozen and get baked from a frozen state. They even have gift cards.

Fishwife Tinned Fish great fish and adorable packaging  

Divina I just stocked up on some of my favorite staples since they’re having a sale for a few days.  Could be fun to make a gift basket for someone.  I love the roasted tomatoes, caramelized onion jam, Calabrian chilis, sour cherry jam, and all the olives!

Dos Artes Tequila I love the bottle - very gifty - and the tequila is great too.
