Click here   The Best Last-Minute V-Day Gifts for Cooks Forget the giant teddy bear, the exorbitantly expensive yet short-lived bouquet of long-stemmed roses, and that sad supermarket box of mystery chocolates. This Valentine's Day, get your loved one something they really want, like great food and beautiful cookware you can enjoy together. We have gift recommendations for everyone, whether you're looking to splurge on your longtime honey or snap up something cheap and sweet for the new-ish person in that awkward budding-relationship phase. Check out our full gift guide right here.    A Waffle Iron It turns out that good waffle irons produce better waffles. Make breakfast in bed even better with our top pick by Breville.    A Dyson The only thing better than cooking for someone you love is cleaning up after them. Maximize your clean-up with a truly powerful vacuum like this one from Dyson.  A Joule The Joule is an impressive piece of sous vide machinery packed into a ridiculously lightweight and compact device. If your partner wants to dive into sous vide cooking, getting a Joule is a great start.    A Pasta Roller Is it just us or is making fresh pasta for someone you love the ultimate romantic gesture? Make it simple with this KitchenAid roller and cutter set.  An Aerogarden This is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Get your honey an Aerogarden for fresh herbs and even flowers all year long.    A Tagine Pick up a tagine, and a future of flavorful North African stews, presented beautifully at the table, awaits.  A Wok Woks are the best tools for stir-frying if you want to get that distinctly smoky wok hei flavor, but they're also versatile vessels that you can use for braising, deep-frying, or even indoor smoking.    An Ice Cream Maker Sugar junkies will love making ice cream at home. Make the process even easier with an ice cream machine that actually works—like this winner in our review.
