That second bit aside, bowls offer a round abundance. A sense of plenty. A comforting bottomlessness, if you will. Don't be me wrong, plates are fine -- but they're flat. One-dimensional.
So you can imagine my excitement when I discovered that there are plenty of recipe creators out there putting the most divine dishes together in bowls. These savory selections are guaranteed to please no matter when you choose to enjoy them.
