Two of Philadelphia's culinary golden boys have recently entered the publishing world. Garces, the newly crowned Iron Chef America, has Latin Evolution, a cookbook focusing on innovative Latin cuisine. Vetri talks about his personal experience mastering Italian cuisine in Il Viaggio di Vetri: A Culinary Journey. You can find them, and other books on food (all with a Philly slant), at the Foobooz Holiday Shop.
Steve Poses
For the home entertainer in your life, consider gifting At Home by Steve Poses. You may recall that I saw Poses talk at the Free Library a few weeks ago and was inspired by his charm and insistence on the importance of home entertaining. His tips ran around my head throughout Thanksgiving preparations and will certainly remain relevant through the holiday season and beyond.
John and Kira's Chocolates
They make delicious chocolates and have box sets perfect for holiday giving. Plus, they recently partnered with ROOT liqueur; you can now find ROOT chocolates by John and Kira exclusively at Art in the Age.
Food in Jars
If making gifts yourself is more your speed, check out kitchenplay favorite Food in Jars. She is posting recipes for "Gifts in Jars," like apple-cranberry jam and vanilla syrup. I also suggest my Bitter Whiskey Hot Fudge recipe from kitchenplay May 2009.

Thanks for the Food in Jars link! I love canning, but I hadn't found that one. And, I've enjoyed your blog, on which I've been lurking for months.
Thanks Lance! I'm glad you're enjoying kitchenplay and definitely check out Food in Jars; her recipes are great!
Loving these suggestions! My friends and family thank you, too.
I've been getting a lot of wear out of the Steve Poses book. Initially, I bought two as gifts, but one of them found its way onto my shelf.
agreed - marisa's such a great go-to-gal for canning!
and also, i'm honored to be listed above the esteemed chefs garces and vetri! ;)
see you all tomorrow night!
