5 Beautiful Plates to Make Your Cooking More Artistic
Out of pure laziness, we have not served our lunch and dinner on anything other than a paper plate lately. Yes, it is more efficient since it removes the need for another chore, but eating is more exciting and immersive when you have nice plates and cutlery.
Whether you're ready to venture into the culinary world for the first time or simply desire to return to your roots, we have pulled together a list of five avant-garde plates to create a better food experience.
Sur La Table Citrus Dinner Plate: On Sale for $7.76
In our most vivid dreams, we're vacationing on a warm beach off the coast of Italy, with the ripest fruit and most clear waters. Sadly, it probably is hard to replicate that in the United States, but we can play pretend with our kitchenware. Just look at this plate from Sur La Table—doesn't it make you feel like you're on the most elegant and luxurious European getaway? Plus, it's much cheaper than a trip at $7.76.
