From the chef’s table to your table

Food has been a part of our homes, gatherings, and culture for a long time. But now, with celebrity chefs, themed dining, and home cooks creating niche dining experiences, eating has become an immersive event and a means of connecting. 

Food is no longer just for quenching hunger, it is about satiating all the senses. Bring out a square bowl, or a triangular plate, your food needs to surprise and delight. How the dish is presented, in what ware, narrates the full story behind it, engaging diners on a deeper level. It is not enough for food to just taste great, it has to look, smell, and sizzle the part!

The menu is curated, the spread is plated, and every morsel is ready for you to savor the texture, flavor, and story behind each bite. Let’s see how!

ROLE OF CERAMICS & TABLEWARE

From visual appeal to hosting perfectly, ceramics and tableware play a crucial role in the hospitality industry and even homes. Be it classic wares or unique custom-designed ceramics, plating leaves a distinctive memory of the dining experience.

This is the canvas where the spread can be presented in the most appetizing way. The first element a guest notices is a set table, with its exquisite tableware building anticipation. It can unlock curiosity as well as excite the guests for the meal to come.

TAKING THE RIGHT PICK

 Anyone can host an experiential fiesta with the right ceramicware. It’s an art that captures the eye and the heart when presented in the right way. Why ceramics?

• The tactile feel & texture of the piece
• The weight, versatility & durability ensure the wares can handle regular usage
• The visual appeal that leaves an impression while not keeping the limelight on the dish
• The ease of dining to make sure the dish is savored in the best way possible
• The excellent and even heat distribution, and flavor preservation
