Some Unexpected Gifts

Posted on 1 January 2008 under Gifts, Holidays

The question has come up in quite a few online forums: What do you get a Chef for Christmas? We bought Chef Tad a copy of A Fork In The Road by Eric Villegas, while giving Catherine a one-hour massage from one of her long-time friends who owns a licensed massage therapy center.

We weren’t expecting anything in return, especially the kind of stuff in this photo! The 8″ Chef’s knife is beautifully made, and I’d mentioned to Tad that he needed to check out the panini skillet for his own use at the restaurant. “The Cook’s Companion” is the kind of book I really enjoy, outlining thousands of basic techniques in one volume.

But even more special is the basket. While containing a bottle of the 2005 Stephen Vincent Crimson we had at dinner tonight, it also contains a pair of custom handpainted Frog Leg Inn wine glasses.

Thanks Tad and Catherine for a wonderful evening!
