Look at the foods in a new way, perhaps what looks great together rather than what you might choose for a traditional recipe. For example, the pale cream color of white corn goes beautifully with the deep purple of an eggplant and the soft greens of gooseberries, grapes or butter lettuce. A plum or eggplant color tablecloth with pale cream colored placemats or chargers and napkins, and soft green plates would be beautiful.
