FAQs
I have an advertising opportunity for you, would you be interested?
Hmmm. Maybe. Please click here for more information.
What camera do you use?
The allure of food photography is to make the food look as good to you as it tastes to us. There aren’t many secrets to pretty food photography – but you need good lighting and you need pretty food.
For many situations, we shoot tethered – camera on the tripod, connected to my laptop. Our equipment:
Canon 40D
50mm/f1.4
50mm/f1.8
Tamron 17-50mm/f2.8 (I mostly use this one)
Speedlite 430 EXII
Lightroom

I have a question about one of your recipes, how can I get in touch with you?
When you leave a comment on a post, I get your comment/question via email. And when I respond to your comment, you’ll also receive an email (I love WordPress plug-ins!). You can also try to catch me on Twitter. I try to answer every question within 24-48 hours. If it has been longer than that, I didn’t see it.
I want to print a recipe, but I don’t want to print another story about you trying to get your husband to eat vegetables. What do I do?
Whaaaaaat? I kid, I kid. At the top of every post, there is a nifty little PrintFriendly icon. For the recipe only, click “No image” from the PrintFriendly screen, and then click any extraneous text that you don’t want to print (a single click gets rid of an entire paragraph). When you’re happy, click Print!
How do you decide which recipes to post?
We don’t blog every dish that we try. Life is too short to share just an average recipe. The benchmark for publishing a recipe is: Did we love it? Would we serve it to guests? Cooking is a way of showing our friends and family that we love them so if I ever serve you a rubbery, bland pork chop… maybe I’m trying to tell you something 
Why don’t you post Weight Watcher points anymore?
I previously calculated Weight Watcher points for dishes where it made sense (you know, those that weren’t 18 points for a serving). But a reader pointed out that Weight Watchers had just unveiled a new point system and the online calculator I used hadn’t been updated. Stay tuned for a section devoted solely to lighter fare later in 2011 for my WW friends.
