I’m rounding up some gift ideas for Paula Deen fans! I’m sure many of you know that I absolutely adore the Southern gal so I’m happy to share so favorites that you’ll want to give or receive this holiday season.  She has everything from cookware to cookbooks!

First up is a good set of basic knife set. This set is great, in my opinion, for beginners. It has the basic essentials and are very sharp. They come in a beautiful wood knife block.  She has also has a bigger set with scissors and all that I also recommend.

A good rolling pin is an essential kitchen tool and every cook should have a good one. I’m actually very picky when it comes to rolling pins and prefer the nonroller type…all manual but this one was beautiful and just felt quality made.  I tried it out on a pie crust recipe and found that it was super easy to work with.  I just love the look of the wood from Paula’s collection.

Another favorite is the salt box.  I fill it with kosher salt and have it sitting by my stove for easy access to season my food.  This one has two compartments and is easy to slide. I’ve found that some salt boxes have hard to slide lids.  This is very affordable at under $15 bucks..

And to make those delicious pies, buy your favorite cook a Paula Deen Pie Baker!  I have the Robin Egg’s Blue and it’s so deep and so pretty. I just love this!  I even use it to serve other food in, as well as bake pies in!  I’m sure you’ll be able to find all kinds of pie recipes to make in it.  You can even search cooking.com for recipes to use.

And finally, for a new couple, you might think about giving a nice 2 pc skillet pan set as a gift.   Our family is a bit big for this set but my husband does bring out the one just to cook our eggs in.  The butter color is just fabulous and will brighten any kitchen!
