It’s that time of year again when we move indoors and get cooking and baking for the holidays!
We’ve found a compact spiralizer, an inspiring cookbook from our friends the Food Gays plus a couple of handy (and colourful) kitchen items to have on hand for various prep tasks.
Cuisinart Spiralizer
Have a turn with this compact, easy to care for Cuisinart spiralizer to create pretty ribbons of zucchini, carrots, sweet potato, apples, firm pears, onions, seedless cucumbers, and more. You can even create veggie chips to pair with some tasty hummus or seasonal dips.
Cuisinart’s Food Spiralizer comes with a lifetime warranty (valid in the US and Canada) and currently retails for CAD $23.99 (on sale from $29.99) at Hudson’s Bay in Canada and for USD $29.99 at Best Buy online. Hey, an item that’s actually cheaper up HERE for a change ????
Kuhn Rikon Silicon Rainbow Whisk
This rainbow balloon whisk feels solid in the hand, is heat-resistant up to 450°F and is dishwasher safe. It comes in two sizes: 8″ and 10″, priced at USD $16 and $20 respectively.
Kuhn Rikon Colori® Titanium Knives
Strength and elegant modern design combine to create Kuhn Rikon’s Colori® Titanium series. The ice-hardened Japanese stainless steel blade guarantees long-lasting sharpness and performance while allowing the steel to reach maximum strength.

Cooking in Color: Vibrant, Delicious, Beautiful Food
A result of over a year of hard work, research and testing, Jeremy and Adrian of the Food Gays present their gorgeous Cooking in Color, a hardcover cookbook focusing on global flavours and presented in easy-to-follow steps. Gone are the days of complicated recipes needing hours of kitchen time.
[From Cooking in Color, L to R: West Coast Eggs Benny, Bulgogi Beef Waffles]
Cooking in Color is divided into a mix-and-match of chapters: Pantry Superstars (flavoured salts, pickled red onions and rubs), Morning Meals, Eat with Your Hands, Bowls and Salads, Small Plates and Cocktails, Vegetable Love, Company, and Sweets, running the gamut from holiday entertaining to weekend brunch with boozy sips.
Available in Canada via Indigo and Amazon, in the USA via Barnes & Noble and Amazon and in the UK via Waterstones and Amazon.
We hope you’re all having a great start to the holiday season and that maybe some of these gift ideas will take the stress out of your shopping, at least for your food-loving friends and family members. Most are available online too.
