Not really hot about the prep shots though, so mundane. Something about the framing. I suggest a fancy, utterly contrived but pretty mise en place shot. Also your photo caption writing has improved greatly. 4/5 | ||

Just kidding. In all seriousness I think you're overestimating the amount of free time I (and other food bloggers) have in making everything shiny. I will look into this studio lights thing though. Speaking of better captions, having you read the Coq au Vin blog? | ||

We have the world's most terrible lighting in this place, because when we had a lot of bright lights the neighbors complained that it was illuminating the street too much (since we're always up late into the night). We don't even have bulbs in most of the fixtures in the kitchen right now. | ||

I guess it would be possible to grill it, too. Especially during this season, when you can add fresh chanterelles | ||

Aside from that the dish looks impressive and I am glad someone takes the time to showcase cooking for how beautiful and easy it can be. | ||

I do understand cutting all the veggies into the insanely thin slice is brutal at first if you are learning as such I would recommend dropping the 30-40 dollars on a cheap mandolin that will cut down your prep time significantly. Aside from that the dish looks impressive and I am glad someone takes the time to showcase cooking for how beautiful and easy it can be. Ahh whoops, by prep I actually mean cook and prep. There's a 2.5 hour baking period in there as well as the time to make the piperade. | ||

I auto seperate prep and cooking times in my head and classify them as seperate things completely. Thanks for clearing it up. | ||
