Little Details... Food Displays at Dean & DeLuca

Yesterday I stopped at Dean & DeLuca to get breakfast on my way home from our lovely wedding in St. Helena. I hadn't been in awhile and was reminded how visually beautiful it is. I used to love visiting the Dean & DeLuca in Soho when I lived in New York City -- buying anything there felt like such a treat. Now, 10 years later, there are obviously many competing gourmet food stores, but I still love Dean & DeLuca. Here are a few pictures of things I loved in the store yesterday -- take a look at how everything is so well coordinated and how the food really pops because they're organized by color. (Colored sugar is displayed above -- makes me want to bake!) Take some visual notes before your next party or when you're entertaining at home -- how you display things can add an extra element of surprise to your guests!
