A Bite to Eat

The 2013 Best Food Blog Awards have been named!

I knew you were waiting breathlessly....and starving!

And the winner iiiiiiissss:

(drum roll, please...)

NOT WITHOUT SALT

 

Not a single one of the blogs that won is on my reading list, so now I have a bunch of new blogs to read and sort through. Oh, joy! I've long since narrowed down my political blogs to a few top favorites, but top food and decorating blogs do seem to change frequently. There's always new talent out there.

Here's my question. Why is it that all the pictures of food on these blogs look as if someone has erected a complicated block and tackle hoist in their kitchen so that they can take the picture from the ceiling? How do they do that??? 

From Not Without Salt

I've tried standing on a chair. I feel completely ridiculous and the pictures look exactly like I'm standing on a chair.  

My food pictures always look like crap and so there's no point in my using them and then trying to make you believe the food will taste better than it looks.
