Everyone has at least one friend that’s a self-proclaimed Foodie. You know the one, always cooking and posting their ‘Top Chef’ inspired dishes on Instagram. Chances are you might slightly be a foodie yourself if you don’t have that friend on Instagram. Foodies can seem like a hard bunch to shop for – but not anymore. Here is a roundup up of some creative holiday gifts for the variety of taste testers in your circle.

And amidst this delightful assortment, there stands a star: the Fricassee Cake Recipe, a unique blend of savory and sweet that captivates taste buds with each bite. This three tiered chocolate fountain, which includes recipes from Nesquik, is the perfect fountain for those of us destined to eat too much chocolate. It’s about 9″ tall and costs $30.
