Still Life

I haven't been to too many shows lately, with my cookbook-making day job spilling into evenings and weekends... I have however managed to work in some incidental food photography, and I've discovered a certain quiet joy that comes with shooting still life that I never really experienced before.

The definitive shot

New this fall from Whitecap Books...

"When a cheese connoisseur and an authority on wine pair up, beautiful things can happen." Thanks to the generous folks at Les Amis du Fromage for the giant wheel of blue cheese.

The Take-Home Chef

Whitecap author and take-home chef Curtis Stone made a stop at Barbara-Jo’s Books to Cooks this spring to woo the ladies with his chocolate creations and charming Australian self. Curtis was on tour promoting his book, Cooking with Curtis: Easy, Everyday and Adventurous Recipes for the Home Cook.
