CookingBites dish of the month (October/November 2022): fondue

[Windigo]

Its very handsome. Now you have the same problem as I do with my new pot. How do you take a photo of it in use showing the fondue?

From above the pot?

 

[LissaC]

You could use a drone to take pictures from all sides (I'm joking, although the drone would definitely work)

From above the pot?

Yes but... well mine has a smaller opening than the one in the feature photo (as does yours I think?) so the contents wouldn't be very visible.

Mine has a lid that I can remove on top.

So does mine but then its just a pot. I was thinking how to photograph the whole pot including contents and stuff on dipping forks with fondue dripping off...

I i'l have to do some trial run photos without actually making the fondue. Right now I've got workers painting and repairing the house exterior so my kitchen is plunged into darkness due to scaffolding. I'll hopefully get to it next week when they've finished.

As you can imagine, I am going to do a "fondue" that is completely untraditional. Why be normal?

I'm working on the Halloween theme: jet black for one ad blood red for another.

Getting someone else to pose, and standing in a side angle?

Getting someone else to pose, and standing in a side angle?

Yes... its not easy though. We will see!

I´d imagine Casu Marzu with grappa...

Um, I don't even know what that is. Well, other than the grappa.

I'm kinda' liking the drone idea. You can post some photos of the food... and the damage to your house.

I only know about it because it appeared in a GRE exam test I was giving. It´s an insane, Sardinian cheese which is actually banned in Italy, and is eaten with the live maggots...
Maggot infested cheese

I’d fix the fork to the drone and have it do the dipping for me. What could go wrong?

Oh yes, I have seen or read things about that. It is something I will never eat.

Sounds like a sound idea to me. Do it, and make sure to have Mrs T video it.
