BREVILLE SMART
OVEN PIZZAIOLO >
For a family that is constantly
making pizzas, the Breville
Smart Oven Pizzaiolo was a
must-have for my list. 

HOT CHOCOLATE >
My daughter’s favorite
holiday treat is hot
chocolate, so this makes for
the perfect stocking stuffer.

STAR WARS STORM
TROOPER APRON >
My son Holt is all about
Star Wars these days and
he loves making a mess
with me in the kitchen, so
this apron is a win-win!

CHAMPAGNE SABER >
I feel like everyone should
have this on their list. A way to
make opening every bottle of
champagne a celebratory one. 

YETI COOLER >
This large Yeti cooler is
perfect for trekking along
and holding a cold beer on
all of my husband’s
outdoor adventures. 

NESPRESSO DE'LONGHI
LATTISSIMA PRO
ESPRESSO MACHINE >
I have been dying for a
newer and more elite
coffee maker and this
one makes every coffee
dream I could possibly
have come true.

BREVILLE STEAM ZONE >
My dream countertop food
machine. I can steam in pots or
bamboo baskets at multiple
power settings, and best of all,
I can fill the insert with broths
and seasonings and make a
killer Asian hot pot for a crowd.
This machine is a game
changer for me.

EXCALIBUR RES 10
DEHYDRATOR >
I love the size and strength
of this machine, and no one
ever wants to dehydrate an
apple. I need to dehydrate a
bushel at the height of the
season and this baby does
the job.

KUVINGS WHOLE SLOW
JUICER ELITE C7000 >
Strong, steady power
without ‘heating’ the juice,
good looks, plus, most
importantly, easy cleanup
makes this a must for
anyone looking to up
their health game.

BREVILLE ICE CREAM
COMPRESSOR >
Simply the best machine for
the money. The temp hold
feature and multiple texture
settings are a dream for the
home cook. And a compressor
means no silly inserts to
freeze!

IINSTANT POT DUO
PLUS 60 >
I love the 80 but it’s a lot
of machine, the DUO 60 is
the most versatile and I
like the size. The
performance of the 60 is
superb and makes the
perfect gift, even for
yourself. If you don’t own
an instant pot, you need to.

SHUN BLUE 3-PIECE
KNIFE SET >
Pound for pound, dollar for
dollar, I love Shun knives. If
you need one tool in the
kitchen it’s a great knife that
you’re comfortable using for
anything and everything. The
Shun collection is made up of
traditional Japanese knives
that have a blue steel core,
essentially carbon steel that I
love for sharpness, encased
between two layers of
stainless steel. You will
love them.

WILLIAMS SONOMA
PROFESSIOINAL
STAINLESS-STEEL
NONSTICK 5-PIECE
COOKWARE SET >
This is the kind of kitchen
commitment that I can get
behind. The quality of the pans
is excellent and the variety is
just enough without taking up
your entire kitchen!

PHILIPS SMOKE-LESS
INFRARED GRILL WITH
BBQ GRIDS WITH
ROTISSERIE >
This is a great way to bring
the flavors of rotisserie into
your kitchen in a
manageable way. It’s great
for pork roasts or chickens
or ducks; you could even
roast large vegetables like
cauliflower!

LE CREUSET SIGNATURE
CAST-IRON OVAL DUTCH
OVEN IN QUINCE >
I love that this is an old
school color and style. It
reminds me of Julia Child.

WILLIAMS SONOMA
WALNUT WOOD SPOONS >
I never run out of a need for a
wooden spoons and this set is
sturdy and reliable.

NORDIC WARE BUNDT
CAKE PAN >
Everybody needs a sturdy
cake pan and this one is
great for any holiday and
any special cake. It’s good
to buy someone a cake
pan that is slightly outside
their comfort zone but
very American at the
same time!

BREVILLE HOT WOK PRO >
My dad had a wok on the
stove most of the time
throughout my childhood
and would make authentic
Chinese dishes as well as
simple weeknight stir-fry
fare. It’s such a great way to
get high heat and have a
wonderfully “seasoned” pan
you will use countless times.

THE ORIGINAL
PEPPERMINT BARK >
Are you kidding me? I’m
Jewish and celebrate
Hanukkah, but it’s still not
the holidays without
peppermint bark!

LE CREUSET HERITAGE
STONEWARE DEEP
COVERED BAKER >
An excellent product from
an excellent brand. Heavy,
durable, and you will use it
every year. It is great to
serve in, and will never let
you down with poultry.

SMEG DOLCE & GABBANA
CITRUS JUICER >
It looks like a Fabergé Egg,
and runs like a Swiss Watch.
Beautiful, easy to clean.
Perfection.
 

WÜSTHOF CLASSIC
CHEF'S KNIFE >
The knife equivalent of the
ring from Lord of the Rings,
one knife to rule them all.
This knife has heft and great
balance.

REGALIS BLACK
TRUFFLE RUB  >
In a world where
everything with truffles is
overdone, this is a product
that still stands out. Put
on a steak and sear it, and
be prepared for glory.

ALL-CLAD
STAINLESS-STEEL
ROASTER WITH RACK >
This roaster will make
sure that those you love
gasp in awe at your turkey!
It is all thanks to this
stalwart – once you get it,
you will use it forever.

KICHENAID PRO LINE
COPPER MIXER 7Q >
I just designed my kitchen,
and this copper mixer would
stand proudly in my dedicated
baking section! I need a seven
quart because I always double
recipes so that I can surprise
friends with homemade
goodies.

PEPPERMINT BARK >
Williams Sonoma’s
Peppermint Bark is a classic
over the holidays. It’s
perfect as a hostess gift, a
quick dessert, or as my
personal favorite—blended
with vanilla ice cream to
make epic winter
milkshakes!

THE BREVILLE SMART
WAFFLE PRO >
Even though we are a busy
family, I love to start our
days together. I often make
eggs in the hole or whole
grain pancakes, but I think
it’s time to up my waffle
game! This waffle maker
looks amazing. Waffles
with salty butter, dripping
in maple syrup?
Yes Please!

SCHOTT ZWEISEL PURE
PINOT NOIR >
Parties can get a little raucous
in our house! A lot of
wineglasses get broken or
chipped. We need these
wineglasses because I heard
the triton crystal can handle
our lively bunch!

BOOS EDGE GRAIN
CUTTING BOARD >
My home is like a
treehouse and walnut was
a huge inspiration in our
remodel. This large,
beautiful wooden board
would be a great chopping
companion on my island!

AMISH POPCORN
LIBRARY >
We love hosting Friday
movie nights in our
home. We always serve
buttery fresh popped
popcorn, so this “library”
would take it to the next
level! And I would score
major points with my son,
Teddy, who is a popcorn
fanatic.
