We’ve curated the perfect gifts for Dad’s who love to cook!  An assortment of grilling essentials: self locking grill tongs and meat thermometers from Rosle in Germany, horn handled steak knives from Laguiole in France, stylish salt & pepper mills that offer a lifetime guarantee from Peugeot in France, Steak au Poivre and Herbs de Provence spice kits to elevate your next grill night.

Miyabi Knives from Seki Japan are a true luxury for any home chef.  Available in birch or black pakkawood handles, each knife is made by hand using the traditional Honbazuke method that takes more than 40 days to craft, and hones the Damascus and carbide steel blades to an exceptionally sharp 9.5 to 12 degree angle.  Our personal favorites are the Nakiri 7” and the Chef’s 9.5” Slicing Knife.

If cookery isn’t your Dad’s thing, he will absolutely love our line of Men’s fragrances and soaps from Mistral.  We first discovered this scent on a trip to Napa more than ten years ago and my husband/co-owner of Fourchette has been wearing the Cedarwood Marine scent ever since.  The bar soaps lather generously and the eau de toilette lingers throughout the day without being overpowering.  Gentlemen flock to our shop to re-stock when they are running low!

A hidden gem, Fair Mountain Coffee Roasters is an organic fair trade coffee roaster in Atlantic highlands NJ.

In 2022, Steven joined Fair Mountain with the life mission of continuing to build on the solid foundation Greg & Barbara created one bean at a time.

Fair Mountain Coffee Roasters continues to expand, recently adding new coffee origins and a new espresso bar. Take the opportunity to stop by and share an artfully created coffee drink, each worth a separate article and photoshoot of its own.
