Holiday Gift certificates. It's the thought that counts Three Great Giving Ideas
Show you are thinking of them with these easy gifts!

Finding a gift to show how much you care is much harder these days. We have three ideas that we believe will show that you're truly thinking of them.

Cooks and chefs are pretty opinionated about everything they use, why not give them something that they can choose?

A gift certificate from ChefShop.com is a gift that says I trust you, I believe in you and I can't wait to see what you create.

A gift certificate is the perfect gift for the person who loves to Cook. For the chef in your life!

Gift certificate of sweet cherries Sweet Gifts
Gifts that give twice!

Sometimes when you really care about the gift recipient, it’s hard to pull the trigger and find that special gift. Especially in this world where what’s new today is outdated by the time Santa comes down the chimney.

So giving the most recent hybrid or even a Jaguar for Christmas, though nice, just doesn’t say "I care".

But when you can share something that's grown in the ground, from the land harvested by a human (not a corporation), nothing says it like good old family farm grown food!

Something that is never outdated is fruit that comes but once a year.

Like Early Robin, a Rainier or a red like a Lapin Cherry. When they're hand picked, hand sorted and hand packed, they are just a whole lot better! (We love our cherries!)

Sometimes, though, Yellow or Red is not your color, but Green is.

And let's face it, giving the winning lottery ticket is pretty cool too, but as we know, a billion just doesn't go as far as it used to.

So instead, you can surprise your gift recipient with this. The Herman Ranch (Green) Reed Avocado! It’s rounder and bigger than the usual Haas, and the creamy, buttery, super rich, jump out of your mind, flavor is officially classified as a make-your-life-complete food. One of the few totally spoon ready fruits on the planet. And one spoonful is a mouthful and a meal unto it’s own.

From almost the beginning, Cherries (and now Avocados) have been one of the all-time favorites as the “gift-that-gives-twice!” (What that means is we send you (or the recipient) a Fruit Certificate letting them know (and you get to tell them too) that the gift of the harvest is coming to them soon! Then, in June (or July) they are reminded (of you) when their glorious box (or boxes) show up!

Split Pea and Ham Soup Recipe
Positively Perfect Pea Puree

I love pureed soups. Easy to make, uncomplicated and, when food is so simple and if the ingredients are the best, so is the soup! Freshly dried split peas are exceptional and make a soup like this worth every sipping spoonful. It's the blending of the starch and other ingredients that give the soup its wonderful body. Use a food mill, food processor, or your stick blender to achieve different consistencies.

This smooth soup feels and tastes nutritious all the while filling some mental need for quiet satisfaction.

And if ham is not on your diet, omit the ham hocks, and increase the smoked paprika.

  olive Oil
New just Pressed Olive Oil
With dark olive green color, the oil is warm in feel to the lips, filling the mouth with a fullness of buttery oil that turns to an edge of bitter, and then a sharp burn at the top of the back of the throat.







oatmeal
Super Food

Every list of “super foods” has oats near the top. You’ve seen the commercials - eating oats is known to lower cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health. They even help stabilize your blood sugar - at any time of day.
