The 17 best gifts for the Food Network fan in your life — order up!

Ina Garten's long-awaited memoir came out in October, and is an absolute must-read for anyone who watches Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network. In it, the typically private pro reveals details about her difficult childhood, her 50-plus-year marriage to Jeffrey Garten and more. 

Many fans likely already own her cookbooks (she's published 13 — a baker's dozen! — over the years), and this would complete their library. 

If you're thinking "$100 for cookie dough?!" hear me out: This is from Ina Garten and because she doesn't have a restaurant or shop, it may be the only chance a fan will ever get to taste her food unless they cook it themselves. 

Garten rarely puts her name on a product, so the fact that she's selling this cookie dough through Goldbelly signifies to me that it's extremely high-quality and up to her standards. She also sells a few cakes on the site, but I like this because it's a gift and activity in one. 

Italian chef extraordinaire Giada de Laurentiis knows her olive oil — she eats it with almost everything from oatmeal to salads, she told Bon Appetit. And Lucini's is her favorite for cooking. "It's an extra-virgin olive oil, but it's light," she says.

Anyone, even those of us who'd rather order in than cook, could use a bottle of olive oil in their pantry. It's a staple for a reason!

Speaking of de Laurentiis, dedicated fans would probably love a membership to Giadzy, the Food Network chef's lifestyle brand and website where she shares exclusive recipes and videos, the inside scoop on her favorite products, travel tips and more. 

An annual membership is $70, or you could pay for a few months ($9 per month). La dolce vita awaits...

When grill master and Food Network superstar Bobby Flay comes out with a line of pans, you know they're going to be good. And if you're going to gift one pan, cast iron is the way to go. It can last a lifetime with proper care!

This skillet — part of Bobby's collab with GreenPan, which makes non-toxic cookware — is his go-to. We also named it one of our top picks for the best cast iron skillets of 2024. As tester Lisa Schweitzer explained, "If you preheat this skillet on the stove and add a tablespoon of neutral oil, there is no way you're not going to achieve the perfect crust on a steak. It's also very affordable — $30 when it's not on sale."

Cutting boards are a dime a dozen, but few are as prized as the ones made by John Boos & Co., which was founded more than 130 years ago in Illinois. Flay uses these cutting boards in every kitchen, and the brand's massive round walnut chopping block stars in many of his Instagram videos. It retails for more than $600, but you can find plenty of under-$100 Boos boards that would make a (pardon the pun) sharp gift. 

This one's for all the Fieri-heads out there. The notorious spiky-haired star recently debuted a truly off-the-hook addition to his line of merch: a Monopoly board game. 

In place of traditional game pieces like the thimble and top hat, this edition features items like a '68 Chevy Camaro, a cheeseburger, a pizza and even Fieri's signature sunglasses. Game night, anyone?

Many Fieri fans are also sports fans, and so the star has teamed up with MLB on gear that blends classic team logos with his, ahem, funkalicious food-themed graphics. 

You can find a T-shirt for every team in the league, and they're all under $30. In the words of the Flavortown mayor himself, "out of bounds!"

Ree Drummond (aka The Pioneer Woman) has become about as famous for her beautiful kitchenware as she is for her mouth-watering recipes. This set of mugs from the Food Network host's new dinnerware line is a perfect example, blending her signature florals with a vintage-inspired shape. They're just the thing to bring prairie flair to a pal's kitchen.

Ask any home baker, and they'll tell you a stand mixer is the best gift ever, period. It's also usually one of the priciest countertop appliances you can buy. Not the case with this The Pioneer Woman gadget, which rings in at a reasonable $130 and is inspired by the mixers Drummond uses at home and on her Food Network show. 

Hers are custom-painted with flowers. This option comes already bedecked in florals — sweet!

Chef Carla Hall is famous for her Southern cooking, and this kit gives any fan a taste of her take on hometown barbecue. It comes with four pounds of pulled chicken and/or pork drenched in a tangy Carolina sauce. Dinner for a crowd: done.

Hall's not just a star on Food Network shows like Holiday Baking Championship and Best Baker in America; she's also an accomplished author! This sweet kids' book tells the story of young Carla, who accidentally eats a cookie on Christmas Eve meant for Santa. Gift it to your favorite kiddo or parent for some heartwarming holiday reading.

When I worked at Food Network Magazine, chef and The Kitchen co-host Geoffrey Zakarian told me he drinks something like six double espressos a day. He has also consulted and owned various restaurants with coffee bars. The guy knows his joe!

These beans are sourced from South and Central America and come either ground or whole. I suspect the java lover in your life will like this gift a latte. (PS find more coffee-themed gifts here.)

A mainstay on the network, chef Jet Tila speciliazes in Chinese and Thai cuisine — in fact, his family opened the first Thai grocery in Los Angeles back in 1972. Of his cookware line, these presses are the most fun, especially for a home cook who already has it all.

They let you turn dough, tortillas and even sandwich bread into pockets with sealed, crimped edges so you can easily whip up dumplings, empanadas and homemade Uncrustables.

Tons of pro chefs wear Hedley & Bennett aprons. They're pricey, but incredibly durable, made from heavyweight cotton twill and backed by a lifetime guarantee.

But only one Food Network star, Alton Brown, has his own design with the brand, a quirky cartoon-style food pattern. Gift it to your favorite budding food scientist along with a copy of one of Brown's Good Eats cookbooks to encourage them to get more experimental in the kitchen. 

We've got to applaud the Food Network test kitchen chefs who helped design this oven mitt, which has silicone stripes for protection and added grip. I've owned one for years and it has seen me through countless trays of cookies, sheet-pan dinners and more. At $10, it's a handy little stocking stuffer.

Okay, I'm biased here, but I have to recommend my alma mater for anyone who loves Food Network and is on the hunt for easy dinner ideas. Every issue includes dozens of recipes ranging from quick breakfasts to elaborate holiday desserts, plus exclusive features on the stars and kitchen design ideas. The best part about a magazine subscription is that it's the gift that keeps on giving. Tell them Jessica sent you!
