gifts i love: great jones

I LOVE when something just perfectly embodies the stunning balance of form + function. If you throw in some awesome pops of color, then it really just ticks ALL the boxes for me. And Great Jones ticks ALL of those boxes. They make GORGEOUS cookware and bakeware that’s both stunning to look at AND a chef’s dream to use. ‘The Duchess’ dutch oven has already reached near-cult status for her good looks and even cooking. She comes in 8 sunny colors and moves effortlessly from stovetop to oven to table, looking just lovely at every stop.

GREAT JONES’ bakeware collection is equally stylish and efficient. I have the Sheet Show in Raspberry [in my photo above] and it just makes me smile. It’s *almost* too pretty to use. They also offer a whole range of stainless pots and pans that are completely non-toxic and easy to use and clean. We have a Small Fry for eggs and stuff just slides right off. My sweet husband has a habit of turning the burner on high and wandering off for a bit, so we’ve gone through a bunch of non-toxic, non-stick pans and this one is really awesome. It has survived a full year of his breakfast-making and still looks basically brand new. Great Jones’ goal is to empower home cooks with the right tools for the job and they do it with gorgeous style. Anything in their beautiful collection would make a fantastic gift for chefs + bakers of any age.
