A handcrafted gift from the kitchen is enjoyable to make and even better to receive. Present your love of the kitchen with sweet or savory treats that simply, yet elegantly, join in this season of giving and sharing.

 

IN THIS ISSUE, we offer six gifts from the kitchen that are easy to make, and sure to be enjoyed by the lucky recipient - Pistachio Sugarplums, Chocolate Truffles, Italian Style Crackers, Glazed Nuts (sweet or spicy), and a Hazelnut Brittle. You'll also find patterns for handcrafted boxes and packaging. We also share our favorite picks for gift giving this year!
