"food photos" news and stories

My entry for the St. Georges Day English pudding event I mentioned earlier. Can you guess what it is? No not going to tell until tomorrow. No not a word except that it tastes delicious, has lashings of cream topping and contains...

The latest round of the good-looking photo competition is up and running on I Love Sicily. Ronald, who runs the blog, has set up a great little gallery via Zen Photo to display this months mouth-watering selection of images.

There is a scrumptious looking Dark Molasses Cake with Streusel from Baking Sheet, a Macaroon with Banana Rum Ice Cream from Hungry In Hogtown and a lovely looking Rosemary Focaccia from Pro Bono Baker. My entry is a Membrillo and Apple Tart with Honey and Walnut Cream.

The joy of Ronald using the Zen Photo gallery is the ability for anyone to leave comments against each photo; so why not head on over and put a comment against your favourites!

Though we are more than happy to meet your daily food porn requirements here at Slashfood, we also recognize that you might want to do things like close your internet browser from time to time. We frown on that, but nevertheless have unearthed a convenient way to leave some permanent food porn on your desktop. The fantastically photographed food blog Nordljus has offered up some delicious desktop wallpapers from its archives. The images are available in four sizes, one of which will surely fit your monitor perfectly. The tiramisu pictured above is my personal favorite, but don't let that influence your decision!

A Washington DC-area food blogger received notification from the attorney of Chef Carole Greenwood, of Buck's Fishing and Camping, insisting that he "cease and desist from showing any pictures that [he] may have taken of the food and facilities at said restaurant." Jason Storch, the blogger at DCfoodies.com, said that the chef stated during dessert that he would need to ask permission before using the photos for anything, but that he was not, as the attorney claimed "specifically told [by the chef] NOT to take any pictures."

The attorney is claiming that the restaurant and everything in it is the sole and confidential property of the owner, in this case, Ms. Greenwood. I have no problem with the attorney doing his job, but does Ms. Greenwood really expect that the interior of her restaurant be "confidential"? Given that there were no visible signs informing patrons that photography would not be prohibited, she probably should not have expected this. If  the management of an establishment does not want to permit photography, they need to clearly state that. Once a photo is taken, the owner of the photo can do with it what he will.

Who knew sprouts could make my mouth water? Thanks to Greg for preparing and photographing this vegetable-heavy sandwich. I'm not sure what all's in his version but I'm heading to the kitchen right now for some whole grain bread and my vegetable drawer. Avocadoes, red onion, zucchini and sprouts sounds delicious to me. What's on your favorite veggie sandwich?
