Everybody knows at least one foodie and finding a gift for them can be a bit of a nightmare; for those not already aware, Sous Chef is a one stop shop for sourcing hard to find ingredients and quirky gifts that you won’t find stagnating on supermarket shelves.
This Christmas they have an impressive array of presents for all, ranging from stocking fillers under a fiver to hampers with a twist…

I got in touch with the lovely people at Sous Chef to see what they would recommend asking Santa for this year (or what to buy for the culinary genius in your life)…
Jerusalem Ingredient kit, £39.50: A really thoughtful present for keen cooks – not only because it contains a hardback copy of Ottolenghi’s latest book, but because the kit also contains seven carefully-chosen ingredients which means that they can start cooking straight away without having to trawl around specialist shops to buy all the hard-to-find ingredients featured in the recipes. http://www.souschef.co.uk/cookbook-ingredients-jerusalem-727.html
Fruit Vinegar Selection, £40: The best way to introduce new flavours into salad dressings is through exciting vinegars. Or if you’re not the salad type, these rich fruity flavours are also delicious drizzled over vanilla ice cream and meringues! A little of these Huilerie Beaujolaise vinegars (used by Raymond Blanc and Alain Ducasse), goes a long way, so there’s plenty to keep you going well into 2013. http://www.souschef.co.uk/fruit-vinegar-selection.html
Deluxe Sushi Kit, £25: Already aware of Christmas excesses? Sushi is a great way to detox while avoiding torturous and boring diets. Teach yourself the art of sushi-making and enjoy a healthy January with this deluxe kit.http://www.souschef.co.uk/sushi-starter-kit-714.html
Japanese Ramen Bowl Set, £34
: Make the most of winter nights in by boiling up a big broth and treating yourself to a bowl of ramen. The kit contains two bowls and ladles, as well as four packs of these hard-to-find noodles which really make the dish something a bit special.

The Sous Chef Classic Hamper, £48: There’s little point buying Christmas puddings and jams for the kind of people who made their own Christmas pudding months ago, and whose larder is already packed with homemade jams. This hamper contains ingredients – perfect for adventurous cooks who appreciate new and exciting ingredients.

Anyone keen in the kitchen should be heading to the website right now. I’d love to hear if you’ve shopped with them before and what you think of the gift ideas.
Big thank you to the lovely Jessica for providing the information and images for the guide, too.

I have to say I think food hampers are a great gift for any foodie. I have put a few together myself over the years as they work out so much cheaper.
