One of the things I learned at Lara Ferroni’s food styling photography workshops is that food props should be small, so as to make the food look ample and luscious, and preferably have texture and colour help too, to add visual interest. (Check out also this fascinating series of guest posts on food props at Lucullian Delights.)

So I was delighted to come across these delightful little wobbly plates and bowls in dozens of bright intoxicating colours from Atelier BB on Etsy. Each bowl and plate is made of thick glazed ceramic and imprinted with different lacy designs for extra texture.
I bought a few little plates for my new ‘food styling prop cupboard’ (how VERY Martha Stewart of me) and will probably be buying quite a few more.
And yes, they DO make food look good. Here’s a very quick snap of some potato and beetroot gratin which we had for dinner last night and which was DIVINE. I’ll make it for you guys with pictures next time we get beets in the organic box.
wow. those are really the most pretty plates and bowls i’ve seen in a long time. checked out the store and they have the greatest colors. imagine your kitchen full of colorful plates. will add this to my wish list under the top 5. love them!
