Or at least I think I can.
I am referring to food preparation at home. I am far from being called a chef, well unless when I’m at home then I feel like one because I am the only one who cooks our meals.. I always make sure that what I bring out on the table will not only taste good but by just looking at it, ‘would make you taste it immediately.
I guess I love plating. Since I worked in top hotels for years (not as a chef nor anything near that) I got used to seeing beautiful dishes served to clients. That ’s why when I started to self- learn cooking (quite late I might add, just 8 years ago when I gave it a go) I also learned presenting meals in ways that anyone who would try it will not easily forget what they have eaten.
This was the 3rd dish I served last Christmas dinner:
Claridges Chicken Pie which was inspired by the English chef Gordon Ramsay
I might sound that I’m giving my own shoulder some patting, but according to my husband and dad in law who are picky eaters, this was one pretty good. If you want to get the recipe, simply click THIS.
I guess being the cook and photographer at the same time will sometimes take its toll…I was not really satisfied with this photo.
grabe astig! pati ako napapatalon

hmm, about the sigma camera… i dont have one I know a person who has.
the photos from sigma are a bit noisy considered to canon or nikon cams. though its very much ok for outdoor shoots.
i dont use my slr’s usually kung photo for the blog, its prohibited in our school to post your works via the internet especially if its a photo project and needs to be graded.
but i always find ways to break the rules haha.
and yes, you can do it! now i know, we are both photographers and chefs, rolled in one haha
