It's officially the gift-giving season, and I'm here to share a few ideas for the people in your life who have adopted a less processed lifestyle or have indicated they are working on one!
If you're anything like me, I really don't like stuff for stuff's sake. If it's in my home, it must have a purpose. And as a gift-giver, I want to give my people things they will use. With that said, my recommendations below are for items I own or would love if someone gifted me during the holidays (Matt, please take note if you're reading).

Emile Henry French Ceramic Pizza Stone (Williams Sonoma, $59.95)
I won't live in a world without pizza. And I've found the pizza I make at home is much better than anything I buy and much less processed.
Cuisinart Food Processor (Amazon, $99.95)
A necessary tool for any aspiring home cook.
Cast Iron Dutch Oven (Target, $49.99)
This Dutch oven from Magnolia is an affordable option for anyone starting out. I started making bread in this dutch oven earlier this year.
Emile Henry French Ceramic Bread Cloche (Williams Sonoma, $144.95)
I decided to upgrade to a Dutch bread oven, but I was not ready to invest the money in a Le Cruset. This bread oven is half the price, and I love it so far!
Stainless Steel Nesting Mixing Bowls, Set of 5 (Williams Sonoma, $59.95)
Nesting mixing bowls are ideal for storage, and I like stainless steel because they are light and durable.
Dough Cutter (Williams Sonoma, $14.95)
I discovered early in my bread-making journey that I needed this to help handle the dough.
Apron (Etsy, $19.99)
A safe gift for any cook or aspiring cook in your life. And these patterns are too cute!
Salt Cellar (Etsy, $12.99)
I love a salt cellar next to the stove top where I can quickly grab a pinch for a dish. Plus, it looks nice on the countertop.
6 Sided Box Grater (Williams Sonoma, $40.95)
I grate a lot of cheese since I buy it in blocks. And with all the pizza we make, a quality grater is a must.
Flour Ship Mini Spatulas, Set of 8 (Williams Sonoma, $35.99)
My kids snuck this colorful set of mini spatulas into my shopping basket. I normally wouldn't spend $36 on mini spatulas, but I'm finding them to be incredibly useful!
Freshly-milled flour (Carolina Ground or a local mill near you, prices vary)
While a bit unorthodox, I think this would be a welcomed gift for anyone exploring unprocessed eating or the baker in your life!
Community supported agriculture (CSA) program membership (Local Harvest, prices vary)
Explore CSAs in your gift recipent's area by visiting localharvest.org/csa and consider gifting a season of fresh, local food!
Heirloom beans (Rancho Gordo, prices vary)
Again, a bit unorthodox, but I'd love to receive this! Consider this for any plant-based eaters in your life.
Cookbooks
The Upper Crust (Amazon, $33.70 Hardcover)
Books Unprocessed: My City-Dwelling Year of Reclaiming Real Food (Amazon, $14.69 Paperback)
In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Amazon, $16.99 Hardcover)
As with all gift giving, do your best to know who you're giving to - where are they in their journey, and what might they not already have?
