Gifts for Food Lovers

The cook who has every gadget is a nightmare to buy for, which is rather the point of this page. Our gifts for food lovers gather the most giftable bits from across the cook shop, the things that look special and then get used. There are shellfish tool kits for crab and lobster, BBQ smoker box gift sets with a selection of woods, non-stick paella pans for a sociable feast, seafood cookbooks like Cooking With Tinned Fish. Every one is a tool, a piece of cookware or a coastal keepsake, never the food itself. For the crab lover on your list, pair a tool kit with our preparing a cooked crab guide and they'll be set.

Gifts for the keen cook

A shellfish tool kit is hard to beat, giving everything needed to crack and pick crab or lobster. A paella pan suits anyone who loves a sociable cook-up, especially tucked alongside our paella recipe. No novelty tat here. Many of these pieces come straight from our Lobster & Crab Tools range, chosen because they look the part and last for years.

For the barbecuer and the home smoker

Our BBQ smoker box gift sets pair a stainless steel box with a selection of wood chips, ready to add real smoke flavour to fish, meat and veg, and our home smoking guide makes a thoughtful pairing for a beginner. Many arrive nicely boxed and ready to give. Thoughtful, useful and full of coastal character, these are the sort of gifts that quietly say you put some thought in.
