The Best Dinnerware for the Host with the Most

By Sola Onitiri

Want your food photos to be popping? It’s all about the plates

If I were to pick my favorite part of entertaining - whether it’s in the taproom that I manage or at home for my friends and family - picking the perfect dinnerware for a dish is my favorite thing.

The way we interact with food is layered. Did you know that presentation actually affects how tasty we perceive a dish to be? The color contrast of the ingredients, garnishes, and even the plate that your culinary masterpiece sits on all factor into how your dish tastes.

So, if you watch my IG live streams you know I’m not much of a recipe developer. I can’t help you with that. But I can help you pick some plates that will make your dish pop pop pop.

Now, let’s get going.
