Buy the enamelled stoneware bowls and plates that made the Feel Good Food Plan look so damn beautiful. Cook Healthyish meals. Serve them on this flatware—handmade by Jars Ceramistes in the Drôme region of Southern France—snap a pic, and pretend you’re living in the Healthyish Instagram feed. Smile!
