CHRISTMAS GIFTS for FOODIES
Yep, it's getting late for you Santas out there. So am I. But here are a few things you might be able to pull off in time for the holiday exchange.
Is there any gift better than chocolate? Artisianal chocolates are available in the Asheville area, esp, as well as in the Triad and Triangle.
For bakers, order some chocolate drops from BLACK MOUNTAIN CHOCOLATE www.blackmountainchocolate.com.
Or order a jaw-dropping beautiful box of CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES (www. from Asheville's FRENCH BROAD CHOCOLATE www.frenchbroadchocolates.com
COOKING CLASSES and a LUXURIOUS GETAWAY.....
Imagine roaming this garden at THE MAST FARM INN and gathering fresh veggies and herbs, then gathering in the kitchen to learn from Chef Danielle Deschamps some innovative and delicious ways to prepare them, as well as meats and desserts. And then, you get to snuggle up in one of the deliciously made beds in this inn that's been open for over a century. Perhaps you can give your favorite cook, and/or yourself, an overnight stay and cooking lesson. www.mastfarminn.com
LET YOUR LOVED ONES LIVE HIGH ON THE HOG . . .
AB VANNOY HAMS of West Jefferson does hams the old-fashioned way, curing them for over nine months in a climate-controlled ham house, wrapped in paper and mesh after coating them in sugar. This ham is so fine, it should be called a state treasure, and surely a package of ham slices, or a whole ham itself, would make someone really happy on Christmas Day. Stay tuned for an even more aged ham that's akin to prosciutto. http://site.abvannoyhams.com/

SUNBURST TROUT COMPANY www.sunbursttrout.com/ Located at the base of Cold Mountain, of movie fame, this trout company has been operating since the '40s, and now features along with their lovely filets, smoked trout, tomato jam to go with it, and lovely trout caviar that's awesome. Jacques Pepin loved his visit there. The Jennings family makes extra efforts to be eco-friendly, too.
