Holiday Gift Guides 2022

They are here! I love putting together these gift guides every year, just as much as I love the thrill of finding that perfect gift for everyone. There are gifts for friends, family, hosts, foodies, and French enthusiasts in your life. Each of these items is something I truly love and probably already use – they are definitely tried and tested. Happy holiday shopping, everyone!

Gifts to share and to say thank you this festive season, from near and far:

  1. This chic wine tote fits 2 bottles so add your (or your host’s) favorites! ($20)
  2. Send these tropical wonders – pink ginger in my favorite! – for when you can’t be there in person ($59-69 depending on size; use code BLACKFRIDAY for $20 off)
  3. This mini candle gift set from Otherland is a great deal and a gift full of hygge ($50; 10% off with code KSUSHAS)
  4. Everyone needs to exhale in the middle and the end of the holiday marathon. These CBD bath gems are key! ($48)
  5. A vintage wine jug is that unexpected gift for the person who is notoriously difficult to shop for – done! ($48 for medium)
  6. A luxe stocking stuffer or a thoughtful gift for someone stuck in the kitchen! Everything Jin Soon touches is magic ($45)

  1. Necessaire Body Essentials – choose your signature scent for this set of sustainable, transparent stylish bodycare ($60; 10% off with code KSUSHAS)
  2. This is my own set of bistro-style flatware (one of two!) from Sabre – it is timeless in ivory and other finishes ($78)
  3. Okay, this is “French” terry, but I couldn’t resist the comfort or the price of this sweatshirt ($23 on sale!)
  4. Cremant du Jura Brut – a wonderful champagne alternative for the discerning wine-drinker this holiday season ($45)
  5. This is my most favorite mustard from Edmond Fallot (don’t tell the other guys!) & the flavors are all so rich ($39.90) 
  6. To be honest, I got one of these Maison Boissier advent calendars for myself last year and it was full of such gems! A treat in itself ($99)

  1. A Spanish olive oil pitcher is both a design object and a daily essential in the kitchen ($37.99)
  2. You always need more/new/better oven mitts and I love the psychedelic faux bois print going on here ($26)
  3. Chocolate is always a great gift to have on hand for that kind person, neighbor or friend in your life ($4.29)
  4. Coffee addicts unite! This is a beautiful Vietnamese coffee starter kit gift set ($45.50; use code 15OFF all of November)
  5. This huge Tomo insulated capsule thermos (with two mugs attached!) can also be personalized ($59.95; 15% off with code KSUSHAS)
  6. Another personalized item is this stylish, modern apron that can be customized with the cook’s name ($44)

This summer fruit crisp is a super simple recipe to remember: the batter is 1 cup of flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk, and 1 stick of butter (diced and dotted on top) + 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Don’t skimp on the butter and don’t skimp on the fruit either! I love peaches 🍑 and blueberries 🫐 here, but plums and nectarines would also be great // use at least 4 lbs of fruit, though I tend to skew more towards 5 lbs myself, but this recipe is flexible. Macerate the fruit with a few spoonfuls of sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, then pour the batter over it. Dot the top all over with the butter and sprinkle with some vanilla sugar, if you have it. Bake @ 350 F for about an hour until everything is all bubbly and set. 🥧 // enjoy for tea or for breakfast (my personal favorite) // #saffronandhoney #fruitrecipes #fruitcrisp #summerfruitcrisp #peachcrisp #peachblueberrycrisp

Food is comfort and food is community 🩷 // and this soy-braised tofu made with @foodlandhi ‘s new Maika’i Tofu (made locally at Aloha Tofu Factory) is definitely full of those comforting flavors of home // #foodland75 #foodlandambassador #tofurecipes #mauistrong #maikai Recipe:
1 pack Maikai Firm Tofu
2 tablespoons soy sauce 0.5 teaspoon white sugar
0.5 teaspoon gochugaru
2 tablespoons sliced scallions
1 teaspoon grated garlic (I use a microplane)
0.5 cup water
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional) // 1.Pat dry the tofu and slice into 1/2 inch thick pieces. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over the medium heat and cook the tofu for about 4 minutes on each side. 2. While the tofu cooks, make the braising liquid/sauce: whisk together soy sauce, sugar, scallions, water, gochugaru, and garlic. 3. When the tofu is ready, add the soy sauce mixture to the pan and reduce it slightly, basting the tofu in the liquid constantly; this will take about 3 minutes. 4. Take off heat, mix in sesame oil and sesame seeds into the sauce, spoon it over the tofu and serve hot or chilled.
