To a Food Photographer, good chefs are akin to rockstars, and being asked to photograph them is a pretty nerve jangling commission.   Their reputations are fearsome - with tongues as sharp as their knives, patience as thin as a ginger twille, and a stranger...

When it's raining outside & my to-do list has become nothing short of epic, I like to ignore the world and spend an afternoon skiving off and testing a recipe I've earmarked from one of my favourite food blogs.  This one is inspired by the brilliant "The...

It's January, and although I'm pretty sure that Publicans across the land would disagree, I think it's time to join the millions who embrace Dryuary as a way of paying back the misdemeanors of December.  I am OBVIOUSLY not prepared to give up coffee, chocolate or...
