Japanese barware from Umami Mart
It's that time of year...time to splurge, play, indulge and shower the people we love with gifts!
After scheming up all sorts of ideas, I've gathered some of my favorite picks for this holiday season to share with you. You'll notice plenty of brass and gold, tiny herbs, cookbooks old and new, delicious olive oil, a perfect mortar and pestle, and everything you need to trick out a home bar. Why not give your loved one a gift certificate to her favorite restaurant? Or a signed copy of Alice's new book to benefit the Edible Schoolyard?

These items - from thoughtful, beautifully-curated small businesses and my favorite non-profit, the Edible Schoolyard Project - are just the kinds of gifts I love to give (and receive, hint hint). If you have a moment, peruse the links and I hope you'll feel inspired too.
Wishing you all happy holidays!!!

Stonehouse Rosemary Olive Oil*
Vintage cookbooks from the fabulous Omnivore Books
- Omnivore stocks every imaginable new cookbook too -
*I have an ongoing working relationship with Stonehouse Olive Oil as their photographer. I've fallen in love with their rosemary oil which is so ridiculously good drizzled onto a big warm bowl of white beans or hearty minestrone - I had to add it to my gift list. As always, all opinions are my own!
