Food Photos

The more I photograph food, the more I understand why they use plastic and silicone and whatnot to make the "food" to photograph for advertising. Real food just doesn't photograph well.

That being said, here are two house favorites chez nous.

Our regular salad. Eaten probably 3 nights a week, especially in Winter when lettuce is one of the best vegetables on offer.

It consists of romaine lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, a few slices of sweet onion, feta, kalamata olives, and a pepperoncini. Sometimes I substitute another cheese for the feta, but the rest is sacred and must not be changed. Ever. :)

Sunday morning French toast, this week featuring crowberry sauce:

a lot of the time they make around 50 plates of the food when they're not using plastic food. Search on youtube for food photography and you'll find some cool vids :)

50 plates! I hope they have a local homeless shelter nearby they can give it to. It would be a shame to let all that food go to waste.

Well it looks lovely in the pictures, so it must be wonderful food in real life!

Awesomely good salad! Do you put a few grinds of black pepper on it?

That salad is very similar to what we are going have tonight, but I'll be adding dolmades on the side.

Yeah, our house dressing is extra virgin olive oil straight from the bottle, balsamic vinegar straight from the bottle, and freshly-ground pepper. :)
