Get baking with this large baking-themed basket with spatula, whisk, can opener, ice cream scoop, 10" 6 cup spring-form pan, mini cupcake tin, and utensils and three cookbooks. In"Cooking with Faith" by Faith Ford, beloved comic actress, Faith Ford, puts a fresh and healthy new spin on down-home cooking with 125 updated Southern classics and traditional favorites cooked by three generations of her family. An inspired combination of the best of both worlds -- the homespun, heirloom dishes Faith grew up on (because every once in a while you need to indulge and only the "real thing" will do) and her own healthier, more modern versions and creations -- "Cooking with Faith" is also about the bonds that grow between family and friends as they spend time together in the kitchen.

Tea and Honey Basket

Did you know that, just as you pair wine and cheese, you can also pair tea and honey? As with wine and cheese, there are no hard and fast pairing rules, but this basket will give you some combinations that work particularly well together. Try the wildflower honey, which is mild with floral overtones, with a pale, slightly sweet white tea, like the Snow Leopard. Sage honey, produced in California, shares the earthy flavor of Sencha green tea with its grassy notes. Tupelo honey, which comes from the southeastern U.S. and which has a slightly sweeter flavor, pairs well with oolongs, such as Phoenix Mountain Oolong. Serve your honey in this charming glass and pewter honey jar with the beehive top. Brew your tea in this Newleaf Teapot with infuser and lid, which is designed for a simple, easy and clean way of brewing a fresh pot of tea.
