“Taste of L’Artusi” Pasta Kit for 12

I’ve had the “Taste of L’Artusi” pasta kit more times than I’ve even visited the actual restaurant because frankly, it’s just as good. This kit comes with all the fresh ingredients to make four servings of three of the NYC hotspot’s most popular dishes, including the tagliatelle bolognese, rigatoni with mushroom ragu pasta, and the taglierini all’amatriciana pasta. One shopper raved that “L’Artusi prepared and packaged one of the best meals” they’ve had “in a while” and said that their “homemade pastas with their sauces are simply outstanding.” Another person added that the pasta was “super fresh and some of the best” they’ve “ever had.”

You know what your holiday celebration needs? Ina Garten’s beloved coconut cake that’s layered with a silky cream cheese frosting. Reviewers called it “AHHH-MA-ZING” and “magnificent.” The multi-layer cake, which comes in both 6-inch and 8-inch sizes, serves between six and 12 people. It ships frozen with dry ice and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days or in the freezer for up to two months. Customers also praised the shipping process, which kept the cake “still fresh and cold” even “after sitting outside for a few hours on a very hot day.”

Cote Korean Steakhouse Butchers Feast for Four

Cote Korean Steakhouse, a Michelin-starred restaurant located in the Flatiron District in NYC, offers a Butcher’s Feast for four that includes the best cuts of meat I’ve personally tasted, including a USDA Prime dry-aged ribeye, American Wagyu steak, classic USDA Prime hanger steak, and house-marinated USDA Prime short rib galbi. To recreate Cote’s IRL dining experience, the kit comes with dry-aged beef fat for seasoning your grill (trust me, it’s good), an assortment of pickled vegetables, a jar of Ssamjang sauce, which is my personal favorite addition to any steak, and a jar of Gastronome’s salt. Customers called the meal a “15 out of 10” and said that the “food was just as good as it was in the restaurant.” One shopper added that they gifted the set to their dad, who said the food was “the best he’s ever had.”

If you’ve tried Levain, then you get the hype. The New York City bakery’s original chocolate walnut cookies have drawn crowds since they first arrived out of the oven in 1995. And while their outposts have expanded to other parts of the country, including Chicago and Los Angeles, you can ship the cookies wherever you live via Goldbelly. The holiday collection features an assortment of Dark Chocolate Peppermint, Oatmeal Raisin, Chocolate Chip Walnut, Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip, and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies, which each measure four inches and weigh six ounces.
