Mother's Day gifts for the Cook, Chef-Mom:)



Reclaimed Wood Cookbook Stand
I Love the Rustic Feel-timeless
$115.00
 

Take A Stand

When a career change relocated Stacy Borocz from Atlanta to Budapest, the former Atlanta-based merchandise manager didn't realize the treasured opportunity she'd soon discover at the footsteps of her new home.

Stacy's passion for one-off discoveries and her desire to explore her new environs inspired her to seek out unusual and often overlooked locations, such as flea markets, shuttered factories, and military bases. She eagerly rummaged through each place for its hidden relics and delved deep into her ancient city's rich history by repurposing the antiquated artifacts she uncovered.

Like Stacy's other finds, this handsome cookbook stand carries with it the thoughtfulness and craftsmanship of its original makers. The sturdy slab of reclaimed timber used has been salvaged from old buildings throughout Europe. Each lengthy plank is hand-sanded and affixed with sturdy, galvanized metal embellishments. The wood is finished with natural beeswax or mineral oils for a smooth, splinter-free finish.

By coming at the cookbook from a different angle, this rustic stand prevents messy pages and protects touchscreens from disastrous spills and smudges. Use it daily to prop and peruse your recipe collection, or pair it with a vintage hardcover cookbook to give your space a dash of old-world panache.

Himalayan Salt BBQ PlankHimalayan salt bbq plank $34.95

Sizzle and Spice

Looking to spice up your culinary life? This hand-carved platter of Himalayan salt is your multi-tasking tool to do just that. Its beauty and unique properties will allow you to present and even cook your food in ways that will delight your tongue and dazzle your dinner guests.

Himilayan salt has a very stable crystal structure, which allows it to hold a temperature very well. You can chill it to use as a serving platter for sushi, or heat it over a grill or stovetop to cook your veggies. Cooking on salt gives it a greatly enhanced flavor over that of a frying pan. The mineral content in the salt gives it a more nuanced flavor than table salt, and the amount of saltiness it imparts varies with the type of food (moist foods absorb more salt, fatty foods repel it, etc.). Himalayan salt is also long-lasting and naturally antibiotic, needing little more than wiping with a damp sponge after most uses. Whatever you’re serving up, you will be sure to do so with greater flavor and flair.
