Elevate Your Everyday Edibles Into Kitchen Art
Sugar and spice and everything nice deserve pride of place on your kitchen counters and shelves. These ideas can help
Ever since kitchens became as much about entertaining and aesthetics as about cooking, there has been one large, lingering question: How do I cook and keep things orderly? If you ask us, there's no reason to hide away the culinary essentials. Spices, dry goods and fruits and veggies, when displayed properly, can become a stylish part of the decor. With a few simple tweaks, keeping the heart of the home guest ready and making it usable don't have to be mutually exclusive.
If you like the idea of having fruits and veggies where you can see them but think a typical fruit bowl is passé, a beautiful tray like this is a perfect spot for keeping edibles right at hand in a stylish way.
Another super-snazzy alternative to the fruit bowl, this modern rack keeps all your edibles right where you can see them and prevents the inevitable mush on the bottom of the fruit. The splash of red is so fun!
It's a fact of life that some produce is simply not ready to go into the fridge as soon as it's purchased. If you're not a fan of having unripe tomatoes and avocados lined up on the window sill, a unique vessel like this is a must.

Sugar, flour, grains and other dry goods are kitchen musts. Why hide them away when they enhance the decor?
