We love this apron for each of the thoughtful design
details, like tea towel loop and cotton twill ties that
cross in the back instead of pulling on your neck.
Plus, the soft ocean blue makes this an apron you’ll
want to keep wearing even after your guests arrive.
Ocean Blue Cross-Back Kitchen Apron. $68

Regardless of your level of cooking, Genius Recipes is for you.
The debut cookbook from Food52 Works, Food52’s imprint
with Ten Speed Press, is written (and signed!) by Food52’s
Executive Editor Kristen Miglore. The whole book is based on
her James Beard Award-nominated “Genius Recipes” column
on Food52 – a series that uncovers the recipes and tricks that
change the way we cook. $35 www.food52.com
We’re bringing first-class travel to the back of the plane with
this Carry-On Cocktail Kit with Spiced Travel Nuts. Just add booze
and swirl for two custom cocktails – one for you, one for your
new best friend in the middle seat. Old Fashioned or Gin &
Tonic kits come with the various artisanal nut options, including
sriracha peanuts and smokey whiskey almonds to make those
travel delays more bearable. $39 www.carryoncocktailkit.com

One of the things I’ve loved that helps me in the kitchen weekly is www.food52.com.
The all things food-related site is simple to use and host to a plethora of food information. Christina DiLaura, VP, Commerce Operations, is the brains behind their
amazing online shop. Here she shares a few of the things she’s loving right now.
