You can read my official bio here.
My journal is a collection of photographs and writings about things I enjoy: cycling, food, toys, food, lighting, food – did I mention I like food? ;)
You won’t find any overly complicated recipes here – no four-hour preparation times, no complicated combinations of seasonings, and no specialized tools that you’ll never use again. You will find simple, easy-to-prepare recipes in amounts ideally suited to a couple or small family made from local, seasonal ingredients. I grow a good portion of what I eat in my own backyard and try to buy the rest exclusively at farmers’ markets. I firmly believe that recipes can be made simpler by just using fresh food that tastes good naturally without the help of additional seasoning or sugar.
That said, I do love dessert. Especially if it involves fruit baked in a nice crust. And chocolate. Rich, darrrrk chocolate… mmmm…
But I digress.
I also write about photography – specifically, lighting small things. I generally try to post a setup shot and notes at the bottom of my staged food shots. I’m heavily influenced by David Hobby’s approach to DIY lighting so expect to see lots of tinfoil, homemade grids, and mirrors. If there’s something you don’t understand about a shot or there’s a shot you’d like to see, let me know in the comments or send me a tweet.
