If you are looking to do a little traveling this season, I highly recommend a trip up to Amelia Island with a stay at the Ritz-Carlton. Our favorite Ritz property for its beautiful ocean views and impeccable service, the Amelia Island property also boasts the restaurant SALT. Every dish seems to scream perfection, adorned with one of eight or so varieties of salts from around the world. The roasted sea scallops with tasso grits were uncomplicated yet a distinguished palate pleaser, while the Grand Marnier soufflé with blood orange crème Anglaise could be the best I have ever tried. But SALT might best be known for its decadent ending—house-made caramels. I imagine a perfect gift for a gourmand would be a gift certificate for a weekend cooking class or dinner in the kitchen with the chef, and leave a little room for breakfast the next morning out on the patio if eggs Benedict and broiled tomatoes. (Honey, are you checking this off your gift list?)
