Ana Sortun – DIY for Foodies at Formaggio

As far as Ana Sortun is concerned, the best gift in the world (and that’s a quote) is a gift certificate to Formaggio Kitchen. Whether this cookbook author and James Beard award-winning chef-owner of Oleana and Sofra, makes for the South End store or heads for Huron Village, she likes to stock up on spices like owner Ihsan Gurdal’s Turkish barbecue rub, balik spice and Urfa pepper, as well as specialty items like prosciutto, cheese, olive oil or hand-rolled couscous. Gift certificates are available online or you can pop into either location and pick up a few treats for yourself and your food-loving loved one.
