Cardinal International News From The Table – New 2010 Tableware
When the menu changes with the market, flexibility is key, especially in tableware. It’s also the time of year when simplicity sells, in food, as well as dinnerware. When it’s hot, you don’t want 15 different things on a plate, or 14 different plates, glasses and pieces of silverware on the table. A light, clean and spacious look is most appropriate for warm-weather table settings.
Hardworking and economical, Opal Brush collection is perfect for a relaxed atmosphere and summer sun. The Brush collection brings unmatched strength and durability coupled with four fun colors to mix and match—yellow, green, blue and orange. The colors of Brush perfectly complement summer imagery and deliver a fresh look to the table.
Square and rectangular plates are great for picnic-style sandwiches and sides, like lobster rolls and homemade chips or a club sandwich with potato salad. These forms can be purchased in a number of Cardinal lines, including Arcoroc Vintage, the new Infinity in bone china, and trendy Mix Up. For more upscale service, there’s the elegantly refined Embassy White from Chef & Sommelier and more trendy Satinique & Ginseng.
The beauty of farmers’ market salads deserves a generously sized yet understated deep plate or bowl. Chef & Sommelier Sublime and Purity both offer Maxima Porcelain material in rectangular and round shapes. Rondo Extra Strong Porcelain deep plate from Arcoroc is another beautiful canvas for salads.
Glass plates are perfectly suited to produce-based menu items such as composed salads, vegetable tastings and cold plates. The whimsical new Marine seafood plates from Elemental are just the thing for raw bar selections and other chilled seafood. Fresh, from Arcoroc, features a theatrical shape and deep profile that showcases colorful ingredients, and can be mixed and matched with companion ceramic forms for sauces, dressings and other accessories.
Desserts and ice cream, work well with the specialty dessert forms from Arcoroc, including footed Swirl Optic, Quadro, Versatile and Palmier dishes. Cobblers and other fruit desserts show beautifully in the homey style of Minerali. New contemporary Tendency made of Zenix, has a natural organic shape that can bring a touch of flair and additional excitement to the last course. Savor from Chef & Sommelier allows for a center-of-the-plate dessert and a decorative finish on the wide rim.
