Do you prefer pistachio or pimento ... blueberry or bistro?

Color says a lot about your personality, and sengWare lets you show it with its line of vividly colored porcelain dinnerware, serveware and bakeware. Available in eight designer colors, the new dinnerware is designed around a unique color palette that's made to be mixed and matched.

From tangerine to coco, sengWare has the perfect color to match your personality, mood or decor.

"To me, eating and entertaining is all about having fun with color and your own individual style," said WaiSeng Yau, president and owner of sengWare. "That why sengWare allows you to identify your personal color palette. Whether your animated, reserved, sassy, sensitive or all of the above, sengWare has the color for you. Colors can be mixed and matched; there are no limits or boundaries."

The dinnerware sets come in two styles, Chic and Classic. The Chic set includes a square dinner plate, square salad plate, salad bowl and mug. For a more contemporary look, Classic includes a round dinner plate, round cocktail plate, salad bowl and mug.

Ranging in price from $5 to $43, the tableware is 100 percent lead and cadmium free as well as oven-, freezer-, dishwasher- and microwave-safe.

"I started sengWare because I've always enjoyed getting creative with color when cooking and entertaining," said Yau.

"Since first introducing our dinnerware, I've noticed that most people related to one or two particular colors. Customers will tell me 'I'm a blue person' or 'I'm definitely a red person.' So, it's been very important to us that our dinnerware colors reflect people and not just the latest trend. Our goal is for customers to have fun with their signature colors and know that when they return to purchase additional pieces, that color will still be there for them."

KNOT YOUR EVERYDAY CUTTING BOARD

J.K. Adams offers an innovative collection of Knot Cutting Boards that are hip, fun and a little trendy.

Handcrafted from Vermont maple, they are tied up in a knot with colorful silicone bands for hanging and just plain fun.

The boards are available in two sizes: 10-by-7 inches and 13-by-10 inches. Bands are available in plum, kiwi and aqua.

The bands make perfect hangers; if the boards are stored like books on a shelf, the bands stabilize them and keep the maple off damp counters. They are also removable and dishwasher safe.

Since keeping items separate while cutting is important for health safety, collect more than one. Try using plum for meats, kiwi for fruits and veggies, and aqua for breads and cheeses.

The small board retails for $20, while the larger one is $24.
