I’m doing a little shoot tonight for The Salvos, where Simon Bryant is going to make up some recipes and show how to cook from our own gardens. I’m getting in the groove by uploading this photo of him that I shot for Oxfam a couple of months ago for their Fair Coffee promo. You [...]
This is my third Muratti cake – the spectacular Chocolate and Blackberry Slice… Attention to detail is just incredible. A light cake base is covered in dark chocolate ganache, then thick, rich, chocolate mousse, encasing a tart, blackberry jelly layer, which is then covered in more of the rich chocolate mousse, finished off with soft [...]
Finally got back to Muratti today! My goal obviously was set too high… and I’ve been extremely busy of late, but that’s no excuse to NOT buy cakes… This is the “Nutcracker Tart” with a delicate, hand-made short-crust pastry and deliciously sweet, sticky filling with a variety of nuts including macadamias and almonds… Yum! I [...]
Ok, so I’ve decided in order to increase my food photography portfolio, I am going to purchase a cake from Muratti Cakes and Gateaux every week and photograph it (or more regularly! but at least one per week). I know – tough job, but someone’s got to do it! This is the first – the [...]
I’m not a food stylist! Ok, that out of the way… here’s the recipe for what I did here. they were pretty good, even though I slightly over cooked them. I still prefer my brownies with pecans or walnuts, but this was a “whim cook-fest” and I didn’t have any nuts on hand! Ingredients: 1.5 [...]
I made laksa tonight! Yum… This time I made it pretty much from memory, and I think I added everything that was possible to add to laksa! Except for prawns – Tony likes his laksa more meaty than fishy This is pretty much what I did: Laksa Paste INGREDIENTS: 1 shallot 2 cloves garlic 1 [...]
Another of the dessert shots taken for Oxfam, in promotion of the Fair Trade Coffee range. This individually plated Tiramisu looked incredible, and was served with the liquor that was instrumental in it’s making – Pedro Ximinez – along with a perfect chocolate curl on top.
Had another yummy shoot for Oxfam today – this time it was this delicious (yes, I do know it was delicious!) Coffee Bread. This recipe called for dried wild figs and aniseeds and smelled divine straight out of the oven! Served here with Ashed Chevre. Once again this was for the “Fair” promotion that Oxfam [...]
I was hired to shoot the inaugural “Gumboot Dinners” last Thursday night in Stirling, Adelaide Hills. This shot was taken at the first of four restaurants we visited on the night, The Table. The Stirling Gum Boot Dinners launch the Stirling Autumn Garden Festival, a real celebration of gardens, gardening and gardeners on Sunday 17 [...]
Another photo from the shoot done for Penfield Olives, initiated by a need for images for their website, which I designed earlier this year. Penfield Olives is a South Australian family owned and run business, using traditional family recipes for pickling a wide variety of olives and onions, and for pressing the finest olive oils. [...]
