Anyone get anything good for the holidays? Cooking ingredients, equipment, books, etc?

I got some smoked maple syrup for my wife. I can def see using it in a cocktail.

    We gave some friends Italian herb mixes from our garden. Oregano, rosemary, and thyme. If you have never had the actual seasonings from a garden instead of store bought, you have no idea what you are missing and what the herbs actually taste like.

    For us we got a food saver from Costco. Heard great things

      I love mine. Breaking down whole chickens to refreeze makes sooo much more sense. Also, you can prep sous vide… stuff… and freeze for when you’re ready to use it.

      I got a diamond sharpening rod from wusthof as well as a universal knife block. (knife block, but instead of dropping them in slots, they have plastic stick-things inside. you can make your own with skewers,though.) they’re great if you’re not gonna be bothered with buying the full knife set. I only use 3-4 knives regularkt (Chef knife. paring knife, boning and carving knives. And the carving knife is only if I’m showing off…)
