Food for thought (and your dishware cupboard)


Our five a day? While the vegetable patch may call out to some, we’re a little more preoccupied with veg-inspired salad bowls, lemon placemats, strawberry bottle stoppers, pomegranate napkins and artichoke plates. In other words, decor that’s good enough to eat – especially since Google searches for ‘cabbageware’ are on the rise. Here’s the rundown.

Cabbageware: The Rise Of Fruit & Veg-Themed Tablescaping

Spring is peeking around the corner, and with it comes the promise of a refresh: think decluttered drawers, dreamy pastel paint colours, and some quirky decor to finish it all off. And if you happen to be planning a dinner party to herald the arrival of the sunshine, you’ll want to jump on the ‘cabbageware’ craze: a particularly quirky trend that marks the return of food-themed serving dishes and crockery.

‘This spring we’ll look to bring the outside in with vintage-inspired, garden-themed homeware,’ notes Claire Roberts, homeware design lead at Marks & Spencer. ‘Remember the infamous cabbage leaf plates? Analysis of online demand shows they’re having a revival.’

If vintage and kitsch isn’t quite your style, however, there’s plenty of elegant floral options to explore, too. ‘There are certainly updated iterations of the trend, like giant flowers or cross-sections of vegetables,’ Claire confirms. ‘Updating or adding to your crockery collection is a fantastic option if you’re looking to dip your toe into spring style.’ Read on for our pick of the best fruit and veg-themed tableware.
