There’s something really intuitive about accessories inspired by food. It feels so straightforward to adorn our bodies with the elements of nature we most need to survive and thrive, yet for some reason this trend has only really blossomed recently. But I think food accessories have staying power—not least because during the pandemic, food and cooking and taste were the few sensual delights we were left with for months at a time. That definitely made me really appreciate the juiciness of an heirloom tomato and long for the days of a simple brunch. Heck, the pandemic is why I decided to try dragonfruit for the first time—it was a completely novel experience during a year of sameness.
Below I'm sharing some of the food accessories I've found that stand out as unique, charming works of art—whimsical creations that can make me laugh or gasp, and conversation pieces that will have any fellow foodie doing a double take.
