Cooking is something I’ve always enjoyed doing.
First as a means to impress someone then moving into a way to improve myself. Having worked in a fast food restaurant for a long time the idea of cooking and taking photos of food is something close to my heart.
If I had the opportunity I’d cook everyday. Curry and rice, chicken and pasta with mushroom sauce. Pot roast with potatoes and carrots. Or a simple chuck stew. Nothing too serious but enough to keep myself fed.
Santoku or chef’s knife used for chopping. Smoked paprika. Chili flakes along with fresh thyme and rosemary from my small herb garden. Or mayonnaise mixed with hot sauce to ease the burn.
I try to make the simple things I cook the more interesting. Soup with a mix of vegetables. Instant noodles and curry vegetables. Or simple a frittata.
One thing about food photography which I still have to manage is the planning. Cooking a large meal for a few photos doesn’t fit into my budget at the moment. I mostly take photos after I’ve cooked something.
The ideal would be planning a meal and then photographing the process. From breaking the eggs to finishing the omelets. Hopefully this is something I’ll do in the not to distant future.
Thanks for reading : )
