Food Porn Daily: Pinata apple

pinata apple
In every house my family lived in during my childhood, my mother always hung a painting of a bowl of fruit, a book and a half eaten apple in the dining room. Because of that, I've always loved the still life. This image, taken by Jazzijava, leaped out at me because it possesses the same kind of serenity that I always saw in our painting. How could you not find the perfect white of the apples against the coolness of the counter top and the well-used rolling pin appealing?

Don't forget to head over to the Slashfood Flickr group and upload your pictures. We want to see your sliced apples and pastry-covered rolling pins.

Food Porn: Broccoli Pasta is just the beginning

broccoli pasta
Most of the time, our Food Porn posts here on Slashfood are gorgeous photographs taken by food bloggers of their own creations. However, food porn isn't outside the professional world, either. Photographer Francesca Crescenti takes amazingly beautiful pictures of food, like the Broccoli Pasta above. However, what's even more incredible to me are her still-life shots of kitchen tools. Her photos make everyday things like a whisk or a collection of spoons looks positively elegant. Take a peek. Though her site is not English, a food picture needs no translation.

Photo Challenge - can you do better than the New York Times?

Is this the worse piece of food photography ever? So says Pim and Larffic on Still Life With... agrees.

So much so that Larffic has laid down the challenge for all budding food photographers to recreate the dish. She gives full details of the recipe - it is a combination of tuna, salad, cucumber, croutons and a sauce - and you have until the end of the month to post your rendition on the Still Life With... flickr group.

It seems to me that the croutons are more like toast. Are not croutons small little cubes of crispy bread? Or is the photograph just so bad...

Tip of the Day

Your recipe calls for butter or another fat. Depending on the quantity called for, there are different times you should add it.
