Le Creuset Enamel Cast Iron Heart Cocotte Cerise ($299)
This festive heart-shaped cocotte is the perfect Valentine's Day gift! It combines the performance + durability of enameled cast iron with a festive shape perfect for this most romantic holiday.
Braised dishes are also the perfect opportunity to cook wine-infused recipes such as Boeuf Bourguignon or Coq au Vin + this size is perfect for cooking à deux!
K+M Valentine’s Chocolates ($40)
Skip the heart-shaped box full of bonbons this year + opt for an assortment of elegant, bean-to-bar chocolates from California’s legendary Napa Valley.
K+M Chocolate is the brainchild of world-renowned American Chef Thomas Keller (of Michelin-starred French Laundry + Per Se fame), so you know they’re gonna be good.
Le Labo Eau de Parfum Set ($57)
Give your Valentine flowers she can wear! This fabulous set will allow her to explore + enjoy the 5 most beloved scents from this NYC-based fragrance maker! This set features Rose 31 (my personal fave), Bergamote 22, Santal 33 (Beyoncé's fave), The Noir + Neroli 36.
Each of Le Labo’s fragrances is named after the primary scent note + given a number, which indicates the composition's total ingredient count. Their formulations do not include animal products, paraben, preservatives or coloration + are never tested on animals.
Mastering the Art of French Cooking - 2 Volume Set ($66)
Julia Child changed American food culture by making French cuisine approachable to home cooks. The 2009 film “Julie + Julia” about Child’s career + blogger Julie Powell changed my career forever as well!
We have so enjoyed our time in Provence at Julia + Paul’s Summer home, La Pichoune, + we look forward to announcing some upcoming trips so please stay tuned!
Coravin Model 3 Advanced Wine System ($224)
The PERFECT gift for the wine lover on your list, the Coravin revolutionized the way we enjoy wine! This cutting edge, yet easy to use, system allows you to sample any wine without removing the cork!
The specially designed, coated needle gently pierces the cork allowing you to pour wine quickly + smoothly. Inert Argon gas then forms a protective layer that prevents the remaining wine from oxidation. Truly genius + I highly recommend for ALL wine lovers!!!
Farmgirl Flowers Valentine’s Peonies ($89-250)
NOTHING brightens up the kitchen like a bouquet of gorgeous peonies! Their fabulous color + fragrance make them one of the most coveted flowers on Earth.
The “Petal Up” + “Next Petal” options are design-it-yourself arrangements that come with 12-24 stems of picture-perfect Chilean peonies!

Stunningly illustrated with specially commissioned photographs + illustrations, the latest Ladurée entertaining + lifestyle book offers practical tips + inspiration on topics such as how to prepare + have breakfast the Ladurée way, how to be a good host + a good guest, how to dress for the theater + how to pack for stylish travel. It is the ultimate guide to knowing how to live well, the French way.
The books also comes nestled in an irresistible box, packed just like Ladurée’s delectable confections.
Zalto Champagne Glasses Set of 2 ($162)
I am completely smitten with these gorgeous glasses that truly deliver an unparalleled tasting experience! They are Somm favorites + their long-stems are made with a continuous piece of pulled crystal + are therefore more resistant to breakage.
The Zalto Champagne glass, with its classic flute design, is perfect for every style of sparkling wine. It is also feather-light, dishwasher safe + 100% lead free.
Thomas Keller MasterClass Part II ($180)
As a follow-up to his first MasterClass, the legendary Chef Thomas Keller devotes his second cooking class to beef, duck, chicken, pork + veal, + the techniques he uses to prepare them.
Learn to sauté, pan + oven roast, braise, fry + grill, + how to select the best cut of meat for each technique with confidence. Then, learn to make the stocks + sauces that are essentials in Chef Keller’s restaurant kitchens.
