Food finds holiday edition (gifts for the foodie in your life)

Foodies, I been holiday shopping if you need last minute gifts it's the time to do so. My goal Is to help top the foodie trends of 2017 for the food and beverage lover In your life. From Amazon to mom and pop online shoppe businesses. So some are my world food championship sponsors and the others are from my local community merchants that are locally made and locally sourced. So I hope you find the gift for the chef in your life here are my picks

1. Small batch jam co
Pacifica California
https://www.smallbatchjamco.com
I reccomend their Jams as locally made in the bay area. I brought their tequila lime jam it tasted like lemon curd. I met the man behind it and he lives in my sister Molly's neck of the woods of pacifca California. I hope world food championship will want to have them as sponsors. I got an spiced apple date jam for a sweet lady for my friends at kitchen ambush. I hope they see potential In pacifca. So they make great gifts

2. The jelly queens jams
Dallas Texas
https://thejellyqueens.com
If you are a Texan like my friends rebecka Evan's or late jack tidwell this one is for my southern friends. I highly recommend the blood orange lavender marmalade. But next I'm going to try lemon lavender curd to compete at the san mateo county fair California dairy contest I must use clover butter if I want to win?? So the lady behind her jams is donna and she may look a lot like rebecka but she has a pop to her personality and makes you smile she's real deal I just learned she Also sells spices my friend is obsessed with it. Must try for the foodie in your life.

3. Grandpa witmer old fashioned peanut butter mixer

This one was reccomend by a late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon but Not, its Jimmy kimmel as mentioned in people food. He ordered a peanut butter mixer on Amazon and I had to get my moms best friend from childhood Amy shennum one she loves it and it's a perfect gift for your man on the list or a lady who bakes like me! 

4. Ohana spice trading company

Finally during my debut at world food championship 2018 I learned about the peanut butter product at the wfc tasting pavillion.  My brother bought a butterscotch jam ended up getting myself a pumpkin butter then I had to get my bestie a butterscotch peanut to play around with her bacon entries for future wfc competitions a another peanut butter product you'll love. 

So happy holidays and I hope it helps get the shopping done
