Some days, and more often than not now, I am having a hard time wanting to cook. So today, a simple Italian Chopped Salad from What Goes With What by Julia Turshen for my #rainydaybitescookbookclub. Ready in 10 minutes or so. Zero cooking and absolutely delicious. #cookbook #salads #supportlbgt

A little cake to end January. This is a gorgeous vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and some fun sprinkles on top from Bake Your Heart Out by Dan Langan. This uses a reverse creaming & long bake at a low temp. Tender crumb, moist, and sturdy stackable cake. #rainydaybitescookbookclub #cake

My favorite photos are ones that I can visualize beforehand. I know the props, background, and how I want to stage it. Here is the pistachio and mint pesto pasta with burrata recipe from Even More Basics to Brilliance by Donna Hay for my #rainydaybitescookbookclub. A gorgeous dish.

Gorgeous orange scones with swirled cream and apricot jam from Donna Hay’s, Even More Basics to Brilliance. Shot with an iPhone 12 Pro Max. A lovely recipe from a great book. Happy to answer any food styling or photography questions. #cookbook #rainydaybitescookbookclub #foodphotography #baking
