You’ve no doubt heard me mention Food52 Provisions by now. It’s a one-stop online destination for unique, artisanal serveware, cookware, table linens, specialty foods, home decor, specialty food items, and more. Nearly every single item on the site is 100% lust-worthy, if you ask me: so beautifully crafted, simple, and elegant. It’s a dangerous place for me to visit, since I nearly always end up falling in love with some new piece or another, but it’s also a joy to browse, and I have gotten a lot of my best gift ideas there. When I post my gift guide in a week or so, you can be sure that a few Provisions items will make the cut!
This week is all about giving thanks, and as a celebration of the holiday, Provisions is offering one lucky Choosing Raw reader a gift from its online store. The gift in question is incredibly fitting for my audience of salad-lovers: it’s these beautiful porcelain salad bowls.
I’m so glad to be sharing this gift with all of you, because I happen to be the lucky owner of two of the salad bowls myself. You’ve probably seen them in some of my photos. As you can see, I don’t always use them for salad:
They are also a gorgeous vehicle for hot porridge (like the creamy millet coconut porridge, above), grains, stew, or pasta.
(Can’t wait to serve some summery linguine like this when the weather heats up again!)
The bowls are hand-painted in Canada, by local artisans, and you can choose between the plain design and the blue-and-white design:
What I love so much about the bowls is their size: just the right size for a dinner salad or a hearty serving of pasta or grains. No more being forced to eat your salad out of the mixing bowl because your serving bowls are too small 🙂
This awesome giveaway starts today and ends in two weeks (December 9th). It’s open to US residents only. Enter below, and good luck!
Readers, in honor of Thanksgiving, this is a giveaway double header week! Tomorrow, I’ll be reviewing one of my favorite new cookbooks, and sharing a copy with you all as a giveaway prize. Tune in again for a chance to win. xo

The salad I would make in this beautiful bowl is a spinach salad with pomegranate arils, raisins, apple cider vinegar, peas, and shredded apples.
Beautiful bowls! Avocado, tomato and cucumber salad!
Big green salad with maple mustard tempeh!
The first salad I would make in those beautiful bowls would be a tempeh sushi salad with arugula, sun-dried tomatoes, pickled red onions, and nori tossed in a tahini miso dressing!

I would make my favorite Buddha bowl. Farro, steamed dino kale, roasted sweet potatoes and cannellini beans topped with a lemon-tahini sauce. Mmmmmm….
With the weather, I probably wouldn’t make a salad. I would make porridge or oatmeal with chia. The base would of course have to be almond or hemp milk. With bananas and peanut butter.
Huge salads of course, lots of greens, sprouts and seeds!
Either a curry or a Buddha bowl!
a kale salad with your ginger miso dressing!!
I’d love to serve a good fall salad, probably including kale, spinach, roasted squash (maybe delicata), cranberries, and pecans.

These are so pretty! I’d serve spaghetti squash tossed with kale & toasted chickpeas
Kale and Apples are my fave combo in salad ever!!!!!!!! I’m currently on the required meal plan at my college, but I can get off of it starting in January. I’m so excited for real salads, not just wilted spinach with garbanzo beans on top.
My daughter’s favorite salad – black bean noodles, roasted cauliflower, chopped dates, toasted pecans, capers, chopped parsley, and a lemony-honey vinaigrette. SO delicious, we make this salad as often as possible!!!
Kale, pomegranate and butternut squash!
Turkey, wheat berries, and cranberry combo with my leftovers. Thanks!
Tabbouleh salad with whole wheat berries!
As chilly at it is right now, I am thinking a large bowl of zucchini soup and a larger bow of butternut squash soup!! Nothing like an extra large bowl of steaming hot soup these days!!
Thank you for the giveaway! I think a massaged kale and pomegranate salad would look beautiful in these bowls.
Those bowls are beautiful. I think the first thing I would serve in them would be a a heaping pile of greens with onions, black beans, salsa, guacamole and walnut taco “meat”
They are some lovely bowls indeed.
My Vegie’s would look so beautiful in these bowls! Everyone will be so impressed.
I would try a warm potato salad. It’s chilly here!

I would make my families grape, carrot, sunflower seed, and kale salad. It is so yummy.
The first salad combo I would love to serve in this is one of my favorites: a homemade vegetarian chipolte salad bowl. It has fajita style onion and pepper, chipolte and adobe sauce seasoned black beans, homemade salsa, a quick guac, and cilantro-lime brown rice. All layered on on top of your favorite salad mix. Everybody who tries loves it!
My first salad combo will be an avocado salad with black beans, onion, tomatoes, corn, bell peppers and a lime dressing!
Cold soba noodle salad for sure!
