Golden belly

Buy Now $180

I’ve eaten the “Taste of L’Artusi” pasta set more times than I’ve ever visited a real restaurant because honestly, 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 tagliatelle bolognese, rigatoni with mushroom ragout pasta, and pasta taglierini all’amatriciana. One customer raved that “L’Artusi prepared and packaged one of the best meals” he’s had “in a while” and said their “homemade pastas with their sauces are simply outstanding.” Another person added that the pasta was “super fresh and one of the best” they had “ever had”.

Know what your holiday celebration needs? Ina Garten’s favorite coconut cake covered in silky cream cheese frosting. Reviewers called it “AHHH-MA-ZING” and “magnificent.” The tiered cake, which comes in 6- and 8-inch sizes, serves between six and 12 people. It is delivered 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 delivery process, which kept the cake “still fresh and cold” even “after sitting outside for several hours on a very hot day”.

Cote Korean Steakhouse, a Michelin-starred restaurant located in NYC’s Flatiron District, offers a Butcher’s Feast for Four featuring the best cuts of meat I’ve personally tasted, including USDA Prime Dry Aged Ribeye, American Wagyu Steak, Classic USDA Prime Steak from hanger and house-marinated USDA Prime short rib galbi. To recreate Cote’s IRL dining experience, the kit comes with dry beef fat to season 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 Gastronom’s salt. Customers called the dish “15 out of 10” and said that “the food is as good as in the restaurant”. One customer added that they gave the set to their dad, who said the food was “the best he’s ever had”.
