For the Cook Who Has Everything
Flavored Finishing Salts by @loveandoliveoil
A touch of finishing salt can dramatically change the flavor of a dish. From something as simple as fried eggs, to the most intricate layer cake, a pinch of flaky salt can go a long way! Add even more flavor by blending the salt with your favorite dried flavors. This recipe suggests using dried meyer lemon zest, freeze dried blueberries or rose petals, but consider using dried rosemary, dried peppers or even cacao nibs for all of your gift giving needs!

Spiced Preserved Lemons by @local_milkPreserved lemons add a wonderful depth of flavor to braises, pasta dishes and even hummus or vinaigrettes. Splurge on meyer lemons; they will take the flavor to the next level. This is a project you’ll want to start now as the lemons take about one month to ‘cure’.

We like that the sweetness in the homemade cocoa comes from coconut sugar. It’s perfect for people (like us!) who prefer a dark chocolate flavor. If you prefer your cocoa a bit sweeter, you can add more sugar to taste, or marshmallows on top!
