Valentines Day treats for your foodie sweetheart

My husband spends his spare time watching Top Chef, reading restaurant reviews and weeding through the artisanal chocolates at our local gourmet markets. So needless to say, a box of red hots isn't going to cut it for his Valentine's Day gift. Which is why I breathed a sigh of relief when I found Tasting Table's Valentine's Day marketplace.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Tasting Table, it's a free daily email that delivers delicious tidbits of culinary info to adventurous foodie types. Their city editions, which at this time include New York, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Chicago and San Francisco, give the scoop on local food happenings, while the international version is for anyone with a curious palate and a Colicchio complex.

Tasting Table's Valentine's Day marketplace, which is broken down into helpful price brackets, is chock full of everything from irreverent cookbooks and wild fennel salami samplers to peppery watermelon candies. I only hope my hubby doesn't notice when his package of goat milk caramels is half missing. -Melissa
