Linda Starr’s ceramics

I am a big fan of Linda Starr’s blog (see my Blogroll).  There you will find recipes for fish, photos of wildlife and plants in her yard, and, best of all, photos and instructions about how to make her ceramics.  In fact, this year I purchased a platter and a bowl from Linda.  It’s  a long way from her studio in Florida to my home in Hawaii, but she packed the goods so well there was no breakage.

Here are photos of what I purchased:

This platter, which displays my banana croquettes (bananas smeared with mayonnaise and sprinkled with crushed peanuts), came in March.

This curvy bowl arrived in September.  Linda explains:  “I call them free form bowls with the wavy shape. When you leave a spoon in the bowl, the curves keep the spoon from inadvertently falling into the food.”

I served a fruit salad (lychees, grapes, and mandarin oranges) in it.

Both the platter and the curvy bowl are dishwasher-safe.  Lovely, aren’t they?  Unique, too.  Thanks, Linda Starr!
