Click here  Our Favorite Stocking Stuffers for Cooks Here are a few small but thoughtful holiday gifts for cooks and food lovers, perfect for stuffing that real or metaphorical stocking.   A Chef's Press This chef’s press is a great gift for a grilling fanatic, but it’s just as handy for making grilled cheese sandwiches or panini as it is for ribeyes. The heavy press ensures constant contact between your ingredients and the heat source, while grates in the metal allow steam to escape, keeping whatever you're cooking from getting soggy.  A Wooden Spoon Most people already have a few stirring tools in their drawers, but not all spoons are created equal. This wooden Le Creuset model has a flat end, which makes it perfect for scraping up fond or stirring vegetables.  Brooklyn Biltong Dried Beef We admit, beef jerky isn't exactly the sort of glamorous gift you want to wrap up with a snazzy bow, but it makes a perfectly tasty stocking stuffer. South African–style biltong is made by putting the beef through a flavorful vinegar bath before it’s dried, giving it a mellow tanginess.  A Mountain of Chocolate No stocking is complete without at least a few pieces of chocolate, but more often than not, the candy is nothing more than a sweet afterthought. That’s where this assortment of single-origin chocolate bars comes in: The bars are beautifully wrapped in colorful paper, and they offer the recipient a fun way to explore the world of chocolate and learn how different beans and countries of origin can affect its taste.
