Basic Black
July 21, 2025
You can never go wrong with basic black. Or in this case, Obsidian, Heath Ceramics’ new glaze offering. Available on both their Coupe and Plaza dinnerware lines, this black beauty is ready to take the stage alone or play nicely with your more colorful Heath pieces. And if you’re in the mood for a little extra drama you might pair it with Heaths’ Muir flatware in Onyx. Just think of it as an extension of your black on black wardrobe, always simple always quiet always modern.

Sparklers, check. Burgers, check. Watermelon, check. But how bout something special for dessert as well? With the assortment of berries flooding the market now, one of my favorite treats seems appropriate. Summer Pudding. While originally a British dessert I’ve been making it for years and still can’t quite figure out why more people aren’t serving it up. Made the night before makes it convenient and there is no need to turn on the oven on these already warm Summer days. And do I have to say it? Who doesn’t love berries? I’ve used a simple recipe from Merrill Stubbs at Food52. As recipes go it could not have been more simplequietmodern. Knock one out tonight and you’ll be ready to impress your guests tomorrow.
