If the chefs in your kitchen are anything like those in our households, it’s probably safe to say that the kitchen is their domain, and they relish wielding their command over it. Some of them welcome assistance. Other shoo anyone who dares to interfere with their work. However, any form of meal preparation can have its stressful moments, no matter how experienced the cook—from forgetting a key ingredient to setting off the smoke detector. Set your chef up for success with a well-stocked arsenal for all their culinary activities. From premium oils to gourmet spice blends and handmade knives to the editor’s latest cookbook, these foodie-approved essentials from the Local Palate Marketplace will dazzle the chef this holiday.
