New Mexico in Lambertville

A few weeks ago we were virtually transported to New Mexico. Not much makes us happier than the thought of New Mexico (except for actually being there). But this was pretty good. We spent four very full days shooting pictures for a new cookbook that our friend Andy will be publishing through his new publishing company, Leaf Storm Press. The cookbook is by Lynn Cline and the working title is The Maverick Cookbook. It takes you on a journey through dishes and meals of famous characters that called New Mexico home. Georgia O'Keeffe, Gustave Baumann, Mabel Dodge Luhan, Dennis Hopper, Fred Harvey, Billy the Kid and others. It's going to be a beautiful book, and after a week of making and eating the recipes, a delicious one!

Also, check out our Instagram feed, it's (andweate). We are trying to keep it interesting, so you need to look at the feed in grid format to see it. Let us know what you think.

Thanks!

A Kate and Guy How To: This Sunday

blog12-5 A few weeks ago Ian and Shelley, of The Farm Cooking School, asked us to teach a little class on food styling and photography. "OK, let's do it!" we said. And suddenly it is happening this Sunday, Dec. 7!

Are we ready? We are now. It's going to be super fun and here's why...  we will look at light and composition, take pictures and talk about pictures. Yum. I could almost survive on this alone, but we'll eat food too. (Ian and Shelley's food is extra delicious.)

Who doesn't love doing that? And you will leave knowing that when it comes to food and photography, less is generally more. The photo on the right is pretty much all we need to make a good picture (plus a camera)!
