I am headed to the French countryside next summer to teach a 4-day photography workshop. Very, very close to the Basque Country were I was born and raised. We will visit some of my favorite areas, markets and eat lots of Basque food. Want to join me?
I just returned from a 10-day trip in Australia’s Blue Mountains where I taught a food styling and photography workshop with my friend Luisa Brimble, hosted by the beautiful Sophie Hansen. I have so many images to go through and hopefully I will be able to share the experience with you shortly. I went from true Seattle rainy autumn to a bountiful, rose-filled spring in Australia. More on that later because it really was a visual feast that I must share.
A few weeks ago, I attended a food blogger brunch at Seattle’s The Whale Wins where I was introduced to noosa yoghurt. I had seen it around the markets but had not yet tasted it. I really enjoyed the different flavors, even though I usually gravitate towards plain and unsweetened yoghurts, and the silky texture that comes from using whole milk. After that event, I partnered with noosa to develop some simple recipes to highlight their yoghurt. Roasted beets with yoghurt and hazelnut-rose dukkah over sourdough bread and another recipe for yoghurt and granola bowl with quince applesauce.
I am excited to let you know that I will be back in Brooklyn’s Sunday Suppers studio to teach two separate food styling and photography workshops. May 13 and May 14-15, 2016.
For tickets and details, please visit the Sunday Suppers shop.
Fall has set into Seattle. Ochre-colored sunsets begin earlier and earlier.
I spy pumpkins and gourds on stoops and their smell in my oven. I have been roasting them with olive oil, seeds, smashed garlic and branches of crinkled herbs.
And then pear and apple tarts. It is just how it goes around here.
I just came back from a weekend in Lummi Island where I produced a photography workshop for Gentl & Hyers. Really beautiful adventure and I hope they will blog about it soon. I hardly had time to pick up my camera but I did share my experience on Instagram.
