Miyabi Knives

Hand-honed and artisanally crafted in Seki, Japan, no knife is quite as luxurious. Choose from a variety of collections that specialize in providing top-notch quality, superb blades, and gorgeous Japanese designs. 

Renowned for their natural beauty and exquisite design, Miyabi Birchwood knives make the perfect gift for professional and casual chefs alike. With a flower Damascus pattern and SG2 micro-carbide powder steel core, this blade is sharp, durable, and built to stand the test of time.

Staub Cocottes

If there’s one thing universally on every chef’s wish list, it’s a shiny new cocotte. Known for their high-quality cast iron cookware, Staub makes gift-giving easy. Choose from mini cocottes in a variety of fun colors or go big with a larger size. Staub also offers fun, seasonal shapes like a tomato, heart, and pumpkin for the quirkier chef. If they already have a functional cocotte but love Staub for quality and durability, help expand their collection with a teapot, bakeware, or other cookware pieces. 

Nordic Ware Bakeware

Keep it festive with seasonal Nordic Ware bakeware. Nordic ware has specialized in making high-quality American-made cookware and bakeware since 1946. Based in Minnesota, this family-owned and operated brand will revolutionize how you make classic bundt cakes, cakelets, cookies, and other goodies. Give them a classic gift they’ll use for every occasion (or every day)—the Bundt Quartet Pan creates four individual mini bundt cakes in four different shapes: Fleur de Lis, Elegant Party, Cathedral, and Chiffon. Alternatively, the Nordic Express Cakelet Pan will bring back nostalgic memories of building train sets on Christmas morning.
