Food Gifts

150+ Irresistible Recipes for Crafting Personalized Presents

Your all-occasion guide to homemade food gifts that look as fabulous as they taste—from a food stylist and best-selling author of the Boards cookbook!

Includes 150+ recipes, hundreds of packaging ideas, and inside tips for making beautiful food gift baskets for housewarmings, birthdays, holidays, and more.


There’s no more meaningful way to connect with others than to give a personalized food basket or homemade gift! Elle Simone Scott—food stylist, ATK cast member, and author of the best-selling Boards cookbook—expands the boundaries of what food gifts are (endlessly customizable!) and when they can be given (literally, anytime!).
     
Gifts for every occasion: Celebrate weddings, new babies, holidays, and more with gorgeous food gift baskets! Or give an unforgettably unique housewarming gift.
From simple to spectacular: Give a bottle of Fruits of the Forest Liqueur—or up the ante with a complete cocktail party food basket packed with homemade goodies!
Spin one item many ways: Make a big batch of granola for gifting, or divide the recipe into thirds and flavor them different ways.
Big-batch gifts: Find crowd-pleasing gift ideas for school and work events, or holiday gatherings!
Playful DIY meal kits: For people who like to cook, there’s DIY Pancake Mix, Turkish Bride Soup in a Jar, or Mushroom Risotto in a Jar.
Helping-hand gifts: Comfort someone with a fully cooked meal that’s ready to be popped into the freezer or oven.

You’ll also learn Elle’s favorite ideas for keeping food gifts fresh and packaging items cost-effectively yet creatively using edible garnishes, thrifted tableware, canning jars, and more. You’ll never again resort to an expensive, impersonal store-bought food gift basket!
