Couldn't think of anything worse than meeting (eating with ! ) Michael Winner. All you need to do is watch 'Come Dine With Me' to see how easy it is to look like a buffoon - couple of glasses of wine for Dutch courage and a life time of regrets.
Well I've spent more time with a camera, cold food brushed with/without olive oil or sprayed water, planks in all sizes, food in oven, on BBQs, going through place mats, table clothes ,cushions for back grounds, with and without tripod, in natural s…
Take heart Sarah, I suspect the target audience if the food magazine is going to find meat pretty sexy anyway! I liked this shot I took of raw french-trimmed beef roasting joint (but took some 20 shots from various angles to get 1 I liked)

My photographs are far from perfect, but I think they've improved a lot in the last year or so. They used to be terrible - now they're about "OK". Here's what I've learned so far:
-Lighting is key. Natural light is perfect if you have it; I don't (…
1) Lighting
2) Depth of Field
3) Beautiful Food / Drinks / Props
Once you have these 3 items nailed most of the battle is won
Great links to the blogs / tips, thanks for posting those
I've just come across this blog entry titled Food Photography for Food Bloggers
I think a tripod is probably one of the best investments, then you can take pics without flash.
Not sure where you are, so whether this is any good for you, but Catherine is a sweet heart - http://www.catherinewalshphotography.co.uk/
I've just done a google image search on grilling planks, and there are a few photos on there you could use for inspiration.
For getting more colour in to your photos, how about lemon or tomato slices on top of chicken, and a green herb or chilli sa…
Thanks for all the tips, I've been trying to do some food photos this morning because a magazine wants a photograph of some food on a Roasting Plank. The problem is my food has to be photographed on the planks, because that's what I sell and meat ,…
Hi Sarah,
To me the best source of food pgotography tips is this blog from the cooking hut:

I have just started following her tips and my pictures really improved overnight. But as s…

- About me
- was never really interested in good food until I left the UK and spent nearly 10 years in France and Portugal. Now I am a certified foodie and am trying to bring up 2 more little foodies. In fact I love cooking so much I have just started my own company which is all about cooking on wood. My kitchen is full of oak, cedar, cherry, beech and ash wood !

Wild Oak BBQ Planked Steak in Wales
There aren't many foodie gadgets that you can easily take on holiday with you that won't break on the trip or be too cumbersome to pack but that is why I love my BBQ Planks. I have just been for my holidays in Wales with my family, we went camping in two fantastic campsites. The first was right next to the sea and we managed to get quite a lot of surfing done and then we went into the Brecon Beacons for a quieter, more rustic holiday and we found just that.
We put up our tent right in front of… Continue

Wood Paper - Olive, Chestnut, Pear and Apple
The Roasting Plank Company is all about experimenting with the different flavours of woods and food. I currently
have Roasting Planks, BBQ Planks and Wood Paper in four woods - oak (heavier smoke flavour, great for steaks), beech (subtle sweet flavour), cherry ( subtle mild fruity flavour) and cedar (sweet, spicy flavour).
I have tried so many combinations of foods and wood flavours and mostly have succeeded with some lovely recipes (please see website)but some results have been wierd or someti… Continue

The Roasting Plank Company at Milton Abbas
Last Saturday I spent the day with my stall at Milton Abbas Street Fair and had a fabulous day. Milton Abbas is a very picturesque Dorset village and every two years they organise a street fair celebrating their rich history. I even had to dress up and that always adds a sense of occasion.
I love having a stall as it is a great way of spreading the word. Cooking on wood is new for most people in the UK and it is fun watching people's reactions as you explain what it is all about. There was one… Continue

The Art of Planking
I have three different wood cooking products in my kitchen : Roasting Plank, BBQ Plank and Wood Paper and I practice The Art of Planking ! I know that sounds a bit naff but it is all about back-to-nature cooking and, what I love the most, about experimenting with the different combinations of wood and food.
That is what The Art of Planking is all about, you don't need to follow the intricate instructions of a recipe or be infinitely precise about measurements because it is all about experimenti… Continue
