As many of you already know, my wife is a chef.  Lately, she’s been considering writing a book and improving her web presence.

To get thing going, we started taking pictures of new dishes she’s creating.  For those of you familiar with foodie magazines, you’ll find these and subsequent picture an homage to the photography of Saveur and especially Gourmet magazine.  It’s food photography that boarders on art.  Great stuff.

Below are the results from our fist run – it helps that she’s done food styling before.
The Fiesta Burger (I call it a Siesta Burger – it’s not a yawner, it just makes me sleepy after eating it), the Taco Burger, and finished up with homemade Lemon and Honey Buttermilk Ice Cream.  (And yes, it is good.  Hey, someone has to do the QC!)

And still some more porn from tonight’s meal…  A Greek and Chickpea Lamb Burger.  Next, will be the French.

PS.  I want to thank Jay for the gift of light.  The last time he was in town, he gave me a light box.
