Dr. Wife and I have been using Green Bean Delivery for a few months now, and although we have gotten a number of things that we didn’t particularly care for (and occasionally have struggled to use up everything we get each week) overall we’ve been fairly pleased with the service. When you are as busy as we are, having a few fresh ingredients brought to your door is a nice luxury. Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been getting […]
When I was growing up there was a black walnut tree growing in an alley at the end of our property. All that I knew about it was that it dropped messy green golfball-sized seeds everywhere which would stain your hands black if you tried to break them open to get at the nuts inside. Now that I am a grown-up I’ve discovered just how awesome black walnuts are. Despite the fact that they are a pricey due to the […]
I’m pleased to announce that I am going to be a presenter at the second annual St. Louis Food Media Forum August 9 -11, 2013 at The Culinary Institute of St. Louis. The Food Media Forum is a super fun event that covers all aspects of food media including food writing, recipe adaptation, food blog design, social media techniques, marketing and a whole lot more. There are tons of great presenters for the forum and the list is a veritable […]
As I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, one of the great things about being part of the food industry is getting to see what goes on behind scenes at restaurants – the controlled chaos (or sometimes uncontrolled chaos) that results in the food that is brought to your table. Some kitchens are quiet and orderly, some are just insane hubs of activity with steam and flames and smoke everywhere. Most fall somewhere in-between, and while there are often a lot of […]
These cookies will turn your kitchen in an art gallery faster than you can say abstract expressionism. Instead of oil paint you’ll be dripping, splattering and flinging delicious dark and white chocolate onto these incredibly sweet, decadently buttery coconut oatmeal lace cookies. There’s not wrong way to do it, and in the end you’ll have something that could be hung on a museum wall … if you can resist eating them long enough!
One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to get back into regular posts over at my food and photography blog, Shoot To Cook. Business has been really great, particularly in the last year (shout out to all of my awesome clients, new and old!), but an unfortunate side affect of my success has been that I’ve been too busy shooting to spend as much time in kitchen as I’d like. In addition to my love of food photography, I love […]
The great thing about digital photography is that we are no longer bound 12, 24, or 36 frames at a time. And we don’t need to waste time during setup to snap a few polaroids. And yes, as a commercial photographer, it is in my best interest to be economical with my shots if for no other reason than the amount of time needed to edit 1000 shots is obviously much great than 100 shots. That said, however, I’m not […]
Here we are at the end of another wonderful year. I was thinking about doing one of those posts about all of the awesome stuff that happened to me this year, but realized that it would be too long, and people would get bored. So let me say this: I have a wonderful fiance and a wonderful family. I have amazing friends, both the new friends in St. Louis and my old friends from all over. I make my living […]
Merry Christmas everyone! I was lucky enough to see a few snowflakes at my parent’s house in Pennsylvania on Christmas Eve, although today on the actual day of Christmas it is very mild and the beautiful snow is melting quickly. We are sitting around in the living room while the ham cooks in the kitchen, stuffing our faces with all kinds of Christmas goodies, drinking coffee, and trying to figure out when exactly is an appropriate time to start drinking. […]
At the end of June and the beginning of July, I worked on a large project for Feast magazine which involved about sixteen individual shoots all over St. Louis. It was a whirlwind of shoots in a very short period of time (about ten days including the July 4th holiday) and so each shoot had to be short and sweet. There wasn’t a whole lot of time to carefully plan out each shot and test lighting schemes. I had to […]
