Like Father Christmas, I’m making a list, and checking it twice. I have scoured the food and drink world to bring you the greatest and most varied gifts for Christmas 2021. Entirely coincidentally, those who are obliged to buy presents for me can consider this my Christmas list, but I hope it will also provide inspiration for the food-lover in your life.
For the keen cook
I’ve used a lot of cooking thermometers over the years, both at home and at work, and Thermapen is the hands-down winner. With a temperature range of -49.9 to 299.9°C, and an accurate measurement in one second, it is easy to use, easy to read, and easy to clean. Compact and brightly coloured, use the Thermapen to check temperatures in meat cooking, jam-making, confectionery and any other kitchen temperature you care to think of.

For the fancypants food lover
I’m not sure there’s a better gift than really posh butter (I might be sightly biased), but this crab and lobster butter not only received three stars at this year’s Great Taste Awards, but was also awarded their Golden Fork award, for the best product of the year from London.
