From elegant espresso makers to rustic cookware and even a few futuristic countertop appliances; these are the most beautiful kitchen tools and cookware to gift this holiday season.
Kitchen and cookware should be effective, efficient, durable, long-lasting, and easy to use. Blah, blah, blah, we know, but nowhere is it written they can’t be beautiful, too. Since we eat with our eyes first—as the saying goes—it only makes sense that we’d want our food made and served in gorgeous cookware commensurate with the time and energy we spent making it.
As luck would have it, some of our favorite kitchen and cookware brands take as much care with aesthetic design as they do the functional. From beautiful bright copper cookware to flashy/retro countertop appliances, and even a little Italian haute fashion, these are the prettiest pieces of eye candy cookware to gift this year.
