Good Questions: Where to Find these Breakfast Bowls?

A photo and question from Laura: I LOVE your site, I check it multiple times every day. I recently came back from a trip to Buenos Aires and have been searching for leaf-shaped bowls we ate breakfast from every morning...

They are the white leaf shaped bowls, they used 3 of them each morning with breakfast for the bread condiments (theyre filled with chocolate ganache, butter with caramel and cream cheese with ham).

I've tried everything I can think of - and I'd love to find them and share it with your readers as well.

Any ideas on where Laura can track these (or something similar) down?

I love those! Have you tried asking the hotel/restaurunt where you stayed?

I've seen very similar pieces at Target.

Caramel butter? Oh, baby!
These are similar in spirit, and would be pretty in a group:

These plates from CB2 are cute:

And pretty affordable. I know they aren't detailed in the same way as your leaf bowl, but they are cute and shaped similarly nonetheless.

I have seen similar at Kamei Restaurant Supply on Clement Street, Inner Richmond is you are in SF. Its a great place to get all kinds of dishes relatively inexpensive. I have something similar that I have on my stove that I mix spices into for cooking and they are cute.

thank you for telling us what the foods were. that was the only reason i clicked on the story since i have no idea where you can buy dishes but wanted to know what the yummy looking foods were. all i can think of is the caramel butter. is everything for spreading on toast? or special argentinian breads? Faith ... need your help!

Here is a much simpler version (in a variety of sizes and colors):

I got smaller {but I seem to remember larger} ones from Martha Stewart's Collection at Macy's very recently...

LOVE. Any hotel that serves caramel butter and chocolate ganache for breakfast is my kind of joint!

I love it that there's an ashtray on that breakfast table.

You made my day! Well, my night really since it's 11 pm :) But I'm so excited to make this stuff. I'm going to use the TJs whole grain loaf. Happy sigh. I'll report back with pics :)

Thanks, Faith!
