I’ve got a special place in my heart for people who love cooking and entertaining. I think people who cook are more generous souls in our lives.
My mom is one of those gracious gastronomical people. So was my dad. My mother-in-law Sue can cook for an army. It runs in my family’s blood.
Cooks I love. Steve Doocy, Momma Maggie Knutsson, Elisabeth Hasselbeck from 2015
They are the friends and family members who spend more time in the kitchen than most. They can cook in the kind of way that brings them joy during the process. And for most, these special cooks get even more joy when sharing their kitchen creations with others.
And for those who are lucky enough to be on the receiving end of their incredible creations, these food heroes will love any of these amazing gift ideas for cooks.

BlendJet 2
Add ice and fruit to make smoothies, frozen cocktails, yogurt dip, and blend anything on the go. I love this little BlendJet2 wonder that gets about 15+ blends on a single charge. This 16-ounce capacity is small enough to transport and big enough to custom blend whatever anyone desires.
Fully recharge in about an hour and a half. The leak-proof lid comes with a carrying strap and is available in your favorite color here online. I love to give this as a host gift which beats any boring bottle of wine or 6 pack. It’s a big hit in a little package.
