Raise your hand if you knew cucumbers could be this photogenic! I had no idea, was a clueless, out of the loop foodie. But it sure was fun to try.
Just an idea I had after seeing someone do a similar thing with fruit some time ago. I think it turned out pretty neat. This was shot with one studio light with softbox attachment.
Would it be an an idea to do this with different types of fruit or vegetables and turn it into one large printable storyboard?
Once autumn sets in I start craving Dutch food. Dutch food is no spectacular food, not by a long shot; it’s honest, simple, wholesome, hearty and filling food. Hutspot is one of those dishes I keep craving over and over again. The combination of potatoes, carrots and onions all mashed up, piled high upon a plate and generously drizzled with thick gravy has something so enticing to me. Maybe because…

Does this need an introduction? The Onion, the whole onion and nothing but the onion! And here’s is my tribute to it. Onions rule my world and dominate my kitchen. Love ‘em to death.
