Risotto Primavera
–
That’s really a tough question to answer. Why I deserve to be the next food blog star? Don’t we all deserve that? Because being a blogger is not as easy as it seems. We have to learn about food, cooking techniques, light, shutter speed, aperture, composition, food styling, social network, search engine optimization and analytics all at once. As a blogger you will start to notice a change in your vocabulary, where plates and bowls are no longer called by their names, they are now props. We have sometime to alienate our family members in one corner waiting patiently while we snap our pictures, and spanking their hands if they dare to touch our picture perfect food. In my case of course, there were loads of snafus along the way, burned eyebrows (don’t ask), tantrums over a deflated soufflé, or over despicable pictures. But over all I have learned in those (almost three) years of blogging, more than I could ever think was possible. And I’m still learning everyday with an amazing excitement about food and photography, and loving every minute of it. So for the first entry I thought that the best way I could describe my blog was to have a little walk on memory lane and do a recap of some of my recipes.

Thank you so much Katie, noooo… I’m far from being a professional, Actually when I just started this blog I could hardly turn the camera on. LOL… Seriously I was a disaster. But I’m very persistent and I got some books about light and digital camera. And also helps that my husband studied cinema so he knows a lot and he always give me tips. But one thing I discovered to be crucial for a good picture is natural light. Nothing can bit natural light.
Your blog is beautiful. Are you a photographer by trade? Your photographs are just gorgeous.
Beautiful creations… lovely writing. Preserving memories through food, it’s so important!

Hi Anna – what a sweet post. But I’ m feeling guilty too; I’ve done my share of hand smacking, as my family waited hungrily for their dinner 😛 Isn’t family wonderful? Where would we be without them? 🙂
