A few months ago a received and email from Callisto Media. They’re located in San Francisco and they publish books. Lots of books.

Some of you have asked me about food photography and what kind of gear I use to photograph the food on this blog so I’ve taken some time to write a little bit about it here.

Year is almost over and thanksgiving day is here in a couple of days! I have been insanely busy at work to spend any time in the kitchen. Haven’t gone grocery shopping in what seems like forever. This has to end. Well, It will eventually end. Not soon enough though. With the lack […]

I like it when the ingredients drive the recipe. I found these beautiful short ribs at the store and immediately dropped whatever cooking plans I had previously. I picked a few more things for the wine reduction as well. 72 hours later, I picked the rest of the ingredients, like the garnishes and such. After […]
I will probably not be blogging in the next few days (hopefully I can sneak one more post before this year is over). In any case, I wanted to say hello to my friends and wish you all a merry christmas and a happy new year and thank you all for supporting this cooking blog […]
About 3 years ago I decided to learn how to cook. I never thought my interest would last this long but it has, and it never crossed my mind then that I would end up documenting it on a blog. That other cooking blog started about 2 years ago but I only started posting frequently […]
