Playing around with the macro setting on the camera today. This is Jacques Pépin's gourgères recipe; not hard to use at all, but I'm not sure if mine puffed as much as they were supposed to. Next time, I'll add a teensy bit more cayenne, because the spice didn't come through. Otherwise, dreamy - I even had a chance to use some sel gris from L'Epicerie in Paris, snatched up on our last trip there. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/51/174766980_c8f554b07e.jpg

Lately a project on food photography teaming up with another renowned photographer David Ng. So far we are happy shooting exclusive cuisines as we get to taste it after the session... Simple set-up. Just one studio lamp lighting through a diffuser (just tracing paper) from behind with a silver reflector from the opposite direction as fill. 2 small adjustable swivel mirrors carefully positioned and directed to reflect highlights on selected areas. The simulated color of white wine was created simply by adding a teaspoon of coke to water. Opening from Friday, 20th April 2012. Check it out and tell me about it. Serving hours : 11.30am to 3pm (lunch), 6pm -10pm (dinner). Le Petit Paradis is located at 125, East Coast Road @ Alibaba (opposite I12 Katong and Awfully Chocolate). Enjoy... pp: Topazlab for sharpening & color boost. Image Theft is a CRIME. Please REPORT IT like I do. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7130/7066812779_23873d17af_b.jpg
Published on the front page of a popular food blog. This is a fusion of French & Japanese cuisine. Simple set up with just an SB800 & bouncing off a small umbrella to my left. You really don't need big fancy lightings for small items like this. You get more textures & depth on the food with just a light coming from the side.

"Merci, Julia" This is my mom's version of Julia Child's roasted cauliflower with mornay sauce, which is a major hit at our holiday, birthday and any other "big" dinners not only because it tastes great but it can be prepared way ahead of time and popped into the oven 30 minutes before dinner! yummysmells.blogspot.com/2010/10/merci-julia-merci.html https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4088/5087677005_09c0574864_b.jpg

Canard au Vin is a twist on Coq au Vin, the classic French dish made principally from a cockerel and red wine. In this recipe, a whole (portioned) duck is simply used instead of the cockerel. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3878/14531097468_cbd996c750_b.jpg

I actually borrowed the recipe from the show she did with Jacques Pepin, not the original one from the French Chef. There are quite a few steps but all are easy. I tweaked it a bit (when do I not?) to suit what I had available. Cut up a few bacon slices and fry them in a little olive oil in a large soup pot so you get crispy bits of lardons. Drain them and set aside. Depending on how much you like bacon fat, you can remove some now or just leave it all in the pan to sear cubed pieces of beef. I prefer to use chuck because they’re better for stewing but as my market only had eye round, that’s what I got. After searing (I had to do them in 3 batches to get good color) all the beef cubes I added them back to the pot along with any accumulated juices along with: Few sprigs of thyme 2 bay leaves 1 chopped onion 3 chopped carrots 2 chopped tomatoes 4 cloves garlic, crushed Few dashes of Worcestershire sauce (Julia didn’t use this on the show but I like it) Salt and pepper I stirred everything to let the vegetables pick up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Then I poured in a can of low sodium beef stock , added back the bacon, and almost all of a half bottle of Dolcetto (not quite Bourguignon, I know, but the only Burgs I have are too good to be cooked). I reserved a few drops to add later when everything is finished. Unlike Julia, I didn’t bundle the vegs in cheese cloth. I didn’t have any, and I like chunky stews anyway. While the stew was cooking, I blanched and shocked a small bag of pearl onions and peeled them. You can cut little cross marks on the root end, but I didn’t bother and I still got onions that didn’t explode. Go figure. I put these onions in a small pan with a little water, a knob of butter, a pinch of salt and sugar and brought everything to a boil until the water evaporated and the onions picked up a little brown color. Then I added a few cleaned and quartered mushrooms - I didn’t have enough cremini so I mixed in some shiitake. To cook the mushrooms further, I borrowed a little stock from the stew and cooked the onions and mushrooms until they were soft. In a separate bowl I combined some softened butter and a few tablespoons of flour. I mashed the two together until I got a nice paste, then again borrowed some stock and made a slightly thinner paste. This all went into the simmering stew and everything thickened nicely. The total cooking time was 3 hours but it varies depending on the cut. When the meat was tender and fell apart with a spoon, I shut off the heat and stirred in rest of the wine. Here it is with everything assembled. I served it with a delicious soufleed cheddar mashed potato. The recipe follows. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4128/5034127725_d084e2fb87_b.jpg
INGREDIENTS 2 cans (11 oz each) Pillsbury® refrigerated crusty French loaf 1/4 cup Crisco® Pure Canola Oil 2 tablespoons LAND O LAKES® Butter 1 medium onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup) 1 can (14 oz) beef broth 1 1/2 lb cooked roast beef (from deli), thinly sliced 1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing 2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (from 7-oz can), diced 1 tablespoon lime juice 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (4 oz) DIRECTIONS 1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray large cookie sheet with Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray. Place both loaves of dough, seam sides down and 3 inches apart, on large cookie sheet. Using sharp knife, cut 4 or 5 diagonal slashes (1/2 inch deep) on top of each loaf. Bake 22 to 26 minutes or until golden brown. 2. Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet, heat oil and butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook 15 to 18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir in broth and beef; cook 4 minutes. Remove from heat. 3. In small bowl, mix mayonnaise, chipotle chiles, lime juice and pepper. 4. When bread is done baking, set oven control to broil. Cut each loaf in half horizontally, cutting to but not completely through one long side; place cut sides up on cookie sheet. Spread 1/2 cup mayonnaise mixture over cut sides of each loaf. Using slotted spoon, remove beef and onion from broth mixture, reserving broth mixture. Top each loaf with half of the beef and onion; top with cheese. 5. Broil with tops 6 inches from heat 2 to 3 minutes or until bread is lightly toasted. Cut each sandwich into 3 pieces. If desired, skim fat from broth mixture and serve broth with sandwiches for dipping. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4017/4474447710_4a1ea5ee85_b.jpg

I have always been intrigued by these beautiful little sandwich cookies. From everything I read, I was prepared to fail, at least the first time I made them. Much to my delight, they were a success! The pink/brown ones are bittersweet chocolate raspberry flavor. The pink/yellow ones are Pink Lemonade. The yellow/brown ones are lemon and dark chocolate. I also filled some with dulce de leche...can't go wrong with that! Fool-proof recipe and tutorial at www.baking911.com ! https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2473/3684721350_6550be9bf1.jpg

Pas si gras : pas de mayo, mais avocat+yaourt ; et les frites sont en fait des pommes de terre cuites au four. J'essaie de ne pas trop mettre de photo de nourriture dans le 365, mais cette photo (pour la recette sur le blog un de ces 4) était clairement la plus réussie. Recette : www.vialbost.org/index.php/2013/02/28/hamburger-maison/ Home-made hamburger Not so fat. No mayonnaise, but advocado + yoghurt. And no real french fries ; these slices of potatoes are cooked in the oven. I try to put few pictures of food in my "almost 365", but this one (taken for my blog, recipe to come soon) was just the best of the day. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8374/8409572306_25ddf7d3e6_b.jpg

This is Portugal's answer to the Croque Monseiur. It has melted cheese on it, with steak, ham, and sausage inside with this sauce over top. It's delicious! https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3461/3958290621_f842f63347_b.jpg
The onion soup at the French 75 Bistro's food looked better than it tasted. Also, my Croque-monseiur is much better than theirs, though they served it with a really tasty garlic jam. https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2161/1797661810_60f3be0012_b.jpg
