Wondering what presents to buy for nerds who love to cook? Find kitchen geek gifts for the winter holiday season right here!

It’s a great time to be a geek. The world is finally accepting our way of life and the things we love. No longer do fans of math, science, science fiction and fantasy have to hide in the shadows. We are ascendant!

Many geeks are also cooks and bakers. It’s a natural combination, because you can’t make food without science. Yeast is biology, baking soda is chemistry, and you can’t get from raw to cooked without the physics of phase change. You need math to measure ingredients. And no meal is complete without some science fiction and fantasy entertainment to watch while you eat.

When our favorite things come together, we get geek gifts for the kitchen. Buy your friends and loved ones these items for the winter holidays and you will have them snort-laughing with delight into their home-made eggnog.

I did have a bit of a problem finding kitchen geek gifts for this piece. It’s Star Wars. Don’t get me wrong: I loooooove the Star Wars universe. I was an early adopter at age 5 with my long hair done up in Princess Leia buns. But the franchise is so overwhelmingly popular right now that it’s hard to find anything that isn’t Star Wars-branded. This is great, because we can buy tons of sweet Star Wars stuff. The thing is, there isn’t a lot of other science fiction and fantasy merchandise to be found. I understand from a marketing standpoint. It just sucks a little from a fan standpoint. Don’t fear, though. Other kitchen geek gifts are still out there and I found them!

Read on to find some fantastic winter holiday kitchen gifts for cooks who love to nerd hard.
