A seemingly long shoot week has turned into a reminder about how much I crave food through a lens. I eat it all up from those visual pops I spy. And even the most basic ingredients can jump words off a page…

culinary producer”ing”

I just wrapped producing a new series with PowerHouse Productions and cannot wait to share more with you! For now, I keep you at cliff point until we are ready to release more info. What has come of the production until now is indeed fabulous. I learned a lot about one’s culture, got to style with some beautiful props, and enjoyed the storytelling and taste testing. OH yesss, I did.

Wait for it…

Sfoglini came out with a new pasta shape called Cascatelli that the food world has been crazed over. This ruffle-shaped pasta is curved in a way so that it pockets sauce beautifully. I ordered my boxes some weeks ago and said they would arrive ten weeks from the ship. I am here, still waiting for this new pasta art to knock on my door. Until then… we fantasize.

Monday Moods

I’m a little late on my Monday Moods piece that I like to send out every so often, but I thought today was appropriate to talk about my beloved SALMON. My mom and I are lovers of this fish and can eat it every day of the week! It’s become a Monday night ritual so much that I’ve gone to the extent to call this day SALMONDAY (tacky much?). This one was quick on the grill with a homemade roasted pepper and eggplant aioli, grilled fennel, red onions, green olives, and barley (changing up my carb game). I am taking full advantage of the grill on these warm sunny days!
