Harvey Nichols Foodmarket :: Christmas food gifts :: Christmas gift ideas
What do food lovers want for Christmas? If anyone knows which Christmas food gifts gourmands will be clamouring for this year, it\'s Harvey Nichols head grocery buyer Claire Mossford. We\'ve often spent a Saturday afternoon wandering around the Harvey Nichols Foodmarket wondering if it\'s possible to have some of their drool-inducing food and that tight body-con dress, too. Every inch as stylish as you\'d expect, the Foodmarket\'s massive range of producers and independent suppliers shows an impressive commitment to the food principles we hold dear. Whether it\'s a gift hamper, a box of champagne truffles or their witty, celebrity-inspired postcards (Piccalilli Allen or Skate Moss, anyone?) we love that serious food lovers and fun loving shoppers are equally catered for.
Claire\'s job is inevitably is a food lovers\' dream: traveling the world in search of exciting new products, working closely with some of the UK\'s finest food producers and heading up the 600-plus products in Harvey Nichols\' own range of food. "Even after 14 years within the business, I still find it hugely rewarding to see a customer select a product that I have sourced," says Claire. So what does she deem the best Christmas food gifts for 2009? From Christmas hampers to cool cookbooks and fashionable food accessories, Claire reveals all...
