As outrageously coloured food goes, forced rhubarb is up there in the definitive top ten. Pink food on a grey day – blummin’ glorious. And one of the best things I learnt this week was that this fabulous vegetable is picked by hand in candlelight so that absolutely no photosynthesis can take place, and it keeps its extraordinary colour. Magical food deserves magical photographs.
This was my favourite picture from a set I did for a talented chef this week – her details can be found at www.tarastable.co.uk.
I’m still eating the tart she made during the shoot, a minute in the shutter a lifetime on the hips. Just another little piece … what harm can it do …
