From kitchen workhorses to elegant barware, here’s what print managing editor Heather Hughes wants this holiday season.
1. Cuisinart Custom 14-Cup Food Processor
The last time I had to dice mirepoix by hand convinced me that there’s no excuse not to own a big food processor. Every kitchen should have one.
$180. Kitchen Conservatory, 8021 Clayton Road, St. Louis, 314.862.2665
2. RBT Decanter
Rabbit went Gatsby with its new RBT line of glamorous black and gold bar accessories. This swanky decanter, complete with filter, aerating funnel and coaster, is my favorite.
$100. Neiman Marcus at Plaza Frontenac, 1701 S. Lindbergh Blvd. #100, St. Louis, 314.567.9811
3. Eshelman Pottery Handled soup bowls
Paul Eshelman’s ceramics combine thick, solid glazes with exposed red stoneware for a bold color blocking effect on clean, modern shapes. I would love a whole set of the smooth handled soup bowls.
$55 each. Available to order from Craft Alliance, 6640 Delmar Blvd., St. Louis, 314.725.1177

4. Yarai large mixing glass
Though I want all the beautiful vintage glassware at this new shop, this elegant mixing glass is what I actually need to complete my bar. Stirring in a shaker is just wrong.
$45. Intoxicology, 4321 Manchester Ave., St. Louis, 314.833.3088
