Every bite of food should be a sweet bite
When I take pictures of food for my post, I think about composition, and color and placing and everything in between.
I love it, but it’s exhausting folks. All that thinking sometimes leaves me a bit mad with my camera.
So, in order for my camera not to break up with me, I’m trying to learn to take pictures in a wild and crazy way – To let go and just break every single rule, to be free and wild and curious and shoot with abandon.
And after a very hot summer, the Gutsy Cooks are back in action. With a new format, new cooks and new visions we are ready to rock on in our kitches the rest of the year.
This time around we are using tons of different creative outlets to set our monthly menus. Inspirations now can come from a cookbook, or a particular chef, or a theme, maybe a particular technique or even our own cookbooks/recipes – because after cooking with this group of gutsy home cooks, there is huge amount of talent there and I’m really excited to see what they come up with.
For the month of September I decided to go the Mexican route
Do you have those moments where a craving strikes you out of the blue. And you need to have it now or the end of the world will happen.
Ok, well, *cough, cough* NOT the END of the world. But, it does come close.
It happened to me on Saturday. I was sitting pretty, reading this book (which by the way, if you have not read it yet – you best get cracking, because its AWESOME) when suddenly I wanted needed something sweet.
But, I did not want ice cream, or a piece of Baci, or a spoonful of nutella.
My usual go-to “kill the craving” options.
At first I thought I was sick.
But then I closed my eyes to visualize what I really wanted and an image appeared out of nowhere.
I wanted cake.
