As...Mary, I am getting lazy on food styling lately. As you can see that all my latest food photos are mostly close up or just shots of the food itself. Food styling can take up 2 to 3 hours to take a good shot, needs a lot of props. By the time the photos are done, the food will be cold and won't be as delicious. Certain food had to be half cooked in order to look good in photos. Then, the food had to be cooked again after that before we can eat them. By then taste is not the same anymore. Very troublesome lah hehe. I reckon, I am not a chef or a food stylist. I am just a home cook who wants to feed my family and friends tasty food and share tasted and tested recipes with people who love to cook and bake. However, when I have the time with no distraction and in the right mood, I will still play with food styling, just for the fun of it:D Happy Dragon Year to you and your family.

It is just that we need frequent reminder so that we do not short change ourselves.<br /><br />@Elaine<br />No need to do the presentation if you don't feel like it. Sometimes, when I am not i the mood, I will just serve it simple. What is important is the taste itself.<br /><br />@eileen<br />I am lucky to have my family to cook for:D<br /><br />@suituapui<br />Yes simple is the best. Less is more.
