Gifts for men: The foodie man
Shopping
You know the guy, he loves to give it large in the kitchen. An omelette isn't enough for his guests and a bowl of tinned soup would make him weep. Here's our edit of the coolest most stylish cooking equipment for the foodie man.
Culinary Concepts Octopus Bottle Holder, Silver (£74.95)
Octopus haven’t been this hot since Paul the Octopus predicted the 2010 World Cup football results. This handsome cephalopod clings mercilessly to your finest bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape while you fix the blinis.
Final Touch Stainless Steel Twister Aerator and Decanter (£80.00)
Wine enthusiasts will love this gift. Why? Because it’s something they’d be unlikely to buy for themselves (just think what 80 quid’s worth of wine looks like!). There are lots of bits involved which will keep them busy for hours.
NutriBullet 8 Piece 600 Series Juicer Blender, White (£79.99)
If your dad hasn’t yet got a Nutribullet – why? Yes he’ll look at it blankly and wonder why it’s not a bottle of whiskey, but with a little education he’ll be whizzing up blueberry immune boosters for breakfast in no time.
John Lewis Pasta Machine (£35.00)
Yes, we all got one for Christmas in the 90s, but guaranteed they went to the great charity shop in the sky a while ago, and in the new era of healthy eating, making your own pasta is up there with very, very cool. It’s also remarkably easy after a few practices and quite literally NOTHING compares to homemade pasta.
Sage by Heston Blumenthal Barista Touch Barista Quality Bean-to-Cup Coffee Machine (£999.00)
Show the man you love, you love him with this fucking major coffee maker. You start the journey with the beans and end up with whatever kind of coffee you desire. It’s slick, good looking and easy to work. Everything a £1k present should be!
Tom Dixon washing-up liquid (£10)
This might the only way to get some Tom Dixon into your or your receiver of gift’s life. Honestly, how flash is Tom Dixon washing up liquid??
Tom Dixon, Eclectic Orientalist Hand Duo 2 x 500ml (£59.00)
Oh wait! If the thought of washing-up for a tenner is too much to bear, then maybe some divine smelling hand products to strategically place by the kitchen sink are more acceptable?
Bordallo Pinhero, Tomato Tureen (£125)
Cabbage leaves are so last year, serving your soup with style will be easy with this insanely cool tureen.
Mauviel minis copper and stainless steel casserole dish with lid 9cm (£85)
If you know your copper saucepans you’ll know that Mauviel is where the chefs’ shop. But, it’s not cheap. This one is a steal at £85 and while on the small side it’s perfect for boiling a couple of posh eggs, a béchamel sauce, or a starter.
Artisan SmokeHouse, Smoked Olive Oil (£6)
Add a bottle of this to a gift hamper or throw it in a stocking at Christmas and some lucky person will be making some seriously smokin’ canapés.
