Christmas presents made in the home kitchen are both personal and financially sound, according to one food expert.Online food editor of Canadian Living magazine Christine Picheca says that these kinds of gifts are far more welcome than a shop-bought alternative.Mr Picheca told The Canadian Press I think homemade gifts are the best kind, particularly when they are edible and prettily packaged.You arent putting the value on what you spent on something, but you are placing the value on the time, effort and care that you spent actually making the gift from scratch.A basket of baked goods created at home can be made all the easier in a kitchen with practical fittings, such as a well-designed tap arrangement.The installation of a Franke Olympus tap with a side spray option makes cleaning fruit and vegetables before using them in cooking and baking a breeze - and could even save on the water used in a conventional tap for the same purpose.
