A Few Gift Ideas From Food52’s Provisions // Plus A Giveaway: Hedley & Bennett Apron (alexandra's kitchen)

Hi Friends,

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I write today with a few gift ideas from the beautiful kitchen and home shop, Provisions by Food52. If any of you have visited the Provisions shop you’ve likely struggled to pull yourself away, to stay focused, to resist buying just a teensy tiny something.

From vintage pie servers to letterpress coasters to fluted stoneware tart pans, every item is striking in both form and function, screaming: You need me in your kitchen. Immediately.

It can be overwhelming, but what is especially nice about the Provisions site is the Collections page, which will help you stay focused. There are collections dedicated to individuals — The Baker, The New Cook, The Cocktail Connoisseur, The Gardener, The Coffee Lover, The Cook Who has Everything — but also to subjects — stocking stuffers, cookbooks, lighting. And, of course, there are a selection of items that can be found exclusively on Provisions.

Finally, Provisions is generously giving one of you the Hedley and Bennett apron (yes, the apron lady’s apron!) pictured above. Leave a comment below to enter the giveaway. Please tell me the greatest success/biggest hit of your Thanksgiving Day feast. Hope you all are taking a break from the kitchen.

PS: What to do with all of those leftovers.

A few favorites I have collected over the years: placemats (seen in this post), vintage silverware, bud vases, cutting boards, mini bowls:

This is that Turk Forged Iron Fry Pan (gift #1) with the Canal House Chicken with Lemon from the Genius Recipes Cookbook (gift #2). I swear this pan browns and crisps meat better than any other,

and it makes the best eggs,:

and you barely have to clean it:

A quick wipe with a paper towel usually does the job. Occasionally I need to give it a gentle scrub.

I love my cake bunting:

and my PieBox:
