Lettuce Set the Table
It’s a little Dada, this two-piece candlestick. You can literally eat the scenery. Impale a fruit or vegetable from the crisper--a head of kale, an artichoke, even a watermelon--with the base, then stick the candleholder into the top of the produce. Instant centerpiece. Available at Gump’s in Beverly Hills and Aero in Laguna Beach.

Fire Sale--The candle holder shown in last week’s Cookstuff item, “Lettuce Set the Table,” was wrongly reported as available at the now-closed Gump’s in Beverly Hills. It is available at Salutations on San Vicente in Los Angeles and at Aero in Laguna Beach.
We’d rank napkin rings near the top of our list of nonessential table frills, right along with fish forks and finger bowls. That doesn’t mean we don’t collect them--cute and useless objects can be fun to have around. And with these napkin rings, available at Feast in Pasadena, you can set the table with mini-portraits of your guest--or houseguest--of honor.
