If there’s one thing that food bloggers will tell you, it’s that everything looks better on marble. While swapping out an entire island countertop is a pricey endeavor, adding accents from Simon Pearce’s new Gray Marble stoneware collection is altogether more doable. The swirling design is inspired by stratus clouds, which are the low-lying grey blanket clouds that often indicate rain. Still, we’re cheered by how photogenic our meal looks. Gray Marble collection, starting at $45 at Simon Pearce, 103 Newbury St., Boston, 617-450-8388, simonpearce.com
