What did you cook/eat today (May 2017)?

[MypinchofItaly]

My today's lunch is: caprese salad. Only tomato slices (I've used cherry t.), mozzarella and basil leaves with a bit of EVO and some poppy seeds...

We had salads, tuna-rice-veggie casserole, and a dessert of blue/black/straw/raspberries and orange pieces with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.View attachment 7216 View attachment 7217 View attachment 7218

This all looks very 'heathy'!

That looks lovely - but did your lens get a bit steamed up?!

Oh my!! Yes and I don't know way because I haven't cook anything else..

Maybe the lens was a bit mucky? Or it could be flare from sunlight. Where was the light source?

Ok I understand why..I'm often clumsy...a stain of oil with some water of mozzarella on the lens....hahaha, I've seasoned also the lens!

Put it down to artistic license....the smouldering effect!

Sweet peppers, (huge) courgettes and butterbeans in tomato sauce. This is tonight's vegetarian meal to be served with red rice and fried eggs on top.

Even the ice cream? Cool!

I hardly dare post my evening meal after morning glory's fantastic photo of her dish!

I made a meal based on reduced price food items at the supermarket - diced carrot & swede and diced pork!

It's Pork & Veg Stew (with chilli, tomatoes, french beans, potatoes, veg stock)

Easy - a Y shaped peeler makes stripes.

Thanks - but I can see how good your dinner is!

I am bonkers. I insist on taking snaps in good daylight. I made the dish this morning and photographed it in the pan early afternoon in diffused daylight. I rig up a board on which to place the pan in my south facing bay window. The image is on a camera phone. The food is re-heated later.

I keep repeating this - take your food into the daylight (not direct sun). I take food into the garden just to snap it sometimes. I spend a bit of time 'styling' the pan or the plate. I hate winter as there are so few daylight hours in which to photograph. Anyone can take good food pictures as long as the camera phone is not rock bottom level.
