Time Magazine's website currently features more than a dozen food- and nutrition-related stories, all of which look to have been posted within the last few days. I'm unsure as to whether these articles are set to run in the June 12 edition, as the page's heading would imply, or if they're older pieces that are just now being posted online. At any rate, the articles range from "Six Rules for Eating Wisely," by Michael Pollan to a detailed narrative of how a dish makes its way to the Cheesecake Factory's menu. Other pieces focus on grass-fed beef, school lunches, the 100-mile diet and a list of some of the top food sites on the web. It's definitely worth a look.Posts with tag articles

All you aspiring food photographers (and some of you professionals) should have a look at photographer Michael Ray's
Food Photography Blog. Organized more as collection of
Ray's articles than as a blog, the site has tons of interesting tips and techniques that pros and amateurs will find
useful. Granted, those of us that take pictures for our blogs probably aren't going to hack up our barbecue grills and
install lights and gels underneath them when we photograph our tuna steaks. Nevertheless, plenty of Ray's insights
about lighting and composition are good to keep in mind for when we're in our own studios, er, kitchens. This
step-by-step photo walk-through of setting up a
shoot is especially cool. [Photo: Michael Ray]
