Gifts of Food

It's been said that "happiness is homemade", and the adage is definitely true around the holidays, especially when it's a homemade gift prepared in your kitchen. With just a little bit of time you can make delicious holiday gifts for neighbors, teachers and friends with these three delicious recipes to cook up in your Viking kitchen.

Whip up a Feta Cheese Ball in minutes with the help of your Viking food processor. Add a sleeve crackers and a bottle of wine for a wonderful hostess gift. Bake up some luscious Buttermilk Cinnamon Loaves. Give these mini loaves to friends or neighbors to serve with coffee while opening presents on Christmas morning. And, a package of Red Hot Nuts and Bolts is a perfect cocktail nibble throughout the holiday season.
