The best gifts are homemade from the heart.
For Belinda Smith-Sullivan, a chef, author, and food entrepreneur in Trenton, South Carolina, “if I really want to show someone how important they are to me, I show that in the form of a handmade food gift.” Growing up, her family was “of very modest means, and handmade edible gifts were the most cherished. Giving someone a food gift was the equivalent of an extremely expensive present,” she said.
