beets






more carrot photos to come

I saw a chef do a clear candy shell/coating on some food once ( I think it was on Chopped) ...I cannot remember what it was...but I remembered that idea and wanted to try it.  NOT as easy as I had hoped.  I thought it might be pretty on carrots to give them kind of an icicle look....they are cooling at the moment. will have to see how they look ....may need to try again. I followed the recipe I had, but I could not work fast enough before the liquid cooled so much that it was TOO sticky ...my hats off to sugar artists and pastry chefs and any other chef who do this and do this WELL!!! Keep your fingers crossed....photos soon to come!

Photo contest entries: apple category





photo contest entries!

I entered some of the photos already on my blog, but also entered a few that I just did recently of beets, carrots, and apples. The categories I entered are: food in its natural state, food for sale, food in the field, and food portraits.  It was SO hard to narrow down the choices.....decisions decisions.
