This past weekend, we had a double birthday celebration for me and my oldest son. And, of course, what a foodie wants for birthday gifts would have to be things food related. My family truly gets me, because I got three new knives and a new cookbook. Not just any cookbook, but one that I’ve wanted to add to my collection for a while – Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking“.
I’m so excited! My new light and tripod will be arriving any day now.
I’ve been working on taking photos and adding content to my blog. Trust me, I’ve been cooking up storm! Unfortunately every time it comes to taking photos I’m faced with poor lighting and my shots don’t come out as nice or professional as I’d like them to be. Not so much the food styling, but the light. So, if I’m going to take this whole blogging thing seriously (which I am), I decided to buy myself the right stuff. A tripod and the perfect light. I chose the Lowel Ego light and the Photo Elite Series 72 inch tripod.
I can’t wait to start taking REAL pictures so I can post the photos of all my yummy creations.
Stay tuned. Work in progress.
TTFN,
The Baroness
If you’ve never had a Dutch Baby for breakfast, you have no idea what you are missing, baby! This HAS to be one of those dishes you’ve got to try in your life, and have over, and over, and over again — whenever possible. My mother made these all the time when I was a little girl, so for me, this serves as one of my favorite comfort foods as well. I don’t think I actually ate a “real” American pancake until I was 21! That, and my first shot of tequila (ha)! But, anyway, they are absolutely to die for!
