Looking for food gift recipes? Our application has more than 5000 trusted recipes for food gifts.

Homemade gifts don't have to take much time, and are a wonderful expression of your love and creativity. For the "down home" cook, fill a basket with Southern flour or cornbread mixes, stone-ground grits, preserves or syrup and decorate a few wooden spoons tied with a bright Christmas bow. For the gourmet cook, a basket with jars of ripe olives, capers, olive oil, anchovies, and a pound of spaghetti along with an Italian cooking video or cookbook, and a recipe card for an authentic Pasta Puttanesca.

Cookies, candies, and homemade breads are always welcome gifts, or prepare and give festive preserves, relishes, or sauces. Baking mixes or assorted beans and seasonings for soup in dressed-up pint or quart canning jars make great gifts for family or coworkers, or you could bake breads or cakes in the jars.

Note: We recommend keeping canned breads and cakes refrigerated or frozen if not using right away, as the seal may not be reliable.

Below, you'll find several gift recipes, including Candy, pancake mix, Cooking Mixes, Jams And Preserves, and others.
