Tasty or Appealing???
August 30, 2007 by mpriya
I am a self proclaimed foodie and hence i simply enjoy cooking, eating and cooking for people. So it was about time that i started a new blog on… what else… cooking;“Spices in life”.
The moment i started to write the recipes in the blog, i found that to make any cookery based blog look good two things are required..the recipe and pictures.. The recipe is definately important, but more important is the picture showing the end product…and in a short period of time i realised that just any picture is not sufficient. The photo of the food item should be taken in such a way that the lighting is correct, the food item is placed in an appropriate container, placed with a proper background, with accompaniments etc etc for the final product (ie the picture) to look good on the web…
Like, any other photography i realised, photographing a food item is also an art. I go through so many cookery books and websites, and now everytime i go through them i realise the hardwork that goes through, in making the food pleasing to our eyes…pleasing in such a way that we go through the whole receipe and try it at our home…
Hhahahaha… One question madame…
“When providing the recipe, you just pick your food and write about it or do you sit, write about it and then cook too to seclude your taste buds?”
I appreciate your hard work in providing us the mouth watering recipes.
srik..well…foodie that i am..i cook the food i.e home cooked food!!!(tasty i promise)..take a picture and then write about it…
