A New Love: Jacques Pépin's Fast Food
Talking Him Into It - Feeding The Guy
Another Change, and Two Summer Shortcakes
« Baking By The Seat of Your Pants | Main | Christmas Cookie Party »
Christmas poses a giant gift-giving dilemma: you want to give everyone something personal, but with so many people to buy for, the easiest thing to do is give all your friends the same thing. The solution to this yearly problem? The Signature Gift. The Signature Gift is a gift that you give to everyone on your list (except family) that your friends look forward to every year. Pat Carlson of Redding, California introduced me to this concept with her yearly truffle delivery. Every year Pat makes pounds and pounds of melting, mouth-watering truffles and delivers them to all her friends (and her children's friends). Sure, everyone gets the same thing, but if Pat or gave us something else for Christmas one year, even if she picked gifts exclusively for each of us, we'd be a little disappointed. So find that one cookie recipe that everyone swoons over, make a flavored vodka and pair it with the perfect holiday drink recipe, or treat your friends to the handmade cheese from the farm you loved in Vermont; when you find the perfect gift that everyone loves, you've found something that you can give again and again - and your friends will look forward to your visit every year.
