About this episode

The hosts exchange recipes for homemade food gifts perfect for the holiday season.

If you have the time and inclination, there is no better gift than a homemade one, preferably one the recipient can devour. For our holiday episode, we exchanged recipes for foods you can make and package to give to your loved ones, friends or as delightful host gifts this season. How could we choose between everything bagel seasoning or the blue cheese log with pistachio dukkah and honey?
