Sometime I tried to take a picture of my dishes right away and it doesn't always come out great. Why? one thing is that the hot steam tend to fog up my camera lens. Then the other thing, because it's still hot, the herbs that I sprinkle on top tend to turn black! As for your order, I got it. :) Thank you. I already send the order to my Mother. She is preparing and will ship out orders next Monday. Monik,

I'm glad to hear that you enjoy my work. I took a glimpse of your blog moments ago and WOW I'm going to spend some time and try some of your recipes. As for the food photography, the number one rule I learned is to never use the built-in flash on the camera. It is just too harsh and wash out the dish. Depending on the time of day I use a combination of natural light and some help with lamp light (the one with a hood that you can direct to any direction). I also try to place the dish by a window/door so at least one side can catch some natural light and I balance the other side with the lamp light. My most favorite light is natural light so I tried to cook dishes during the day when possible. I'm still new to all this food photography and food styling. Browsing around and looking at other food images does help at least with food styling. Hope this is helpful. Monik,

The quality of the food,picture and writing is superb..I wonder if you could show me some trick on taking food picture..mine always seem to lack lighting..I have a 35mm digital camera and photo box with four lights, but still can't seem to get it right. Any suggestion? Love your food by the way.. Hi,
