Never Arrive Empty-Handed: Hostess Gift Ideas
It’s the season of gift giving – to your weekend host or hostess. And everyone with a house on the beach, or at the lake, or in the mountains appreciates a guest who shows their appreciation by bringing with them a useful gift. We’ve assembled a few gift ideas that should make everyone happy.
Primeware Wine Clutch Bag is thermal insulated to keep whites cold and the reds from getting too warm. A bag to take to the beach, a picnic, or a concert in the park. It’s chic enough to look like a purse and comes in six colors. We love the cork version! $15.00-$20.00
This Bamboo Cheese Board with Cutlery Set comes with a charcuterie board, a slide out tray with cheese forks and knives and a grooved edge to hold crackers. I went to a party last week where the hostess used it to serve cheeses. I knew I had to have one. $59.99
Composing the Cheese Plate: Recipes, Pairings, and Platings for the Inventive Cheese Course isn’t just another cheese book — it’s a gateway into the wonderful world of pairing and plating your favorite cheeses with dozens of sweet and savory condiments. Fromager Brian Keyser and pastry chef Leigh Friend provide inventive recipes that go way beyond the average crackers and jam. Instead, think chutneys, pestos, purees, whole grain mustards, fruit curds, nut brittles, pickles, honeys, and more. $14.95
