I made this pretty moist and delicious bundt cake this afternoon. It came out of the oven around 4.30 pm, then had to cool and by the time I wanted to take a photo there was no light left whatsoever. That meant having to wait either until the next day or find an alternative solution. [...]

Words are tumbling through my mind as I am thinking back to the last 4 days. Days filled with amazing people, new friends and an overall great experience at the first ever Plate to Page workshop in Weimar, Germany.

Ok, let’s start with confessing that the appetizer is really nothing special. I mean; everyone knows the combination of mozarella, tomatoes and prosciutto is a classic one, so I was really merely providing something to put on the plate. I wanted to practice with a christmas atmosphere while using my studiolights. And that is really [...]

I just wanted to share some news with you about myself in a magazine… I was called and asked if I wanted to do an interview for an article in a shop magazine. it’s not a big magazine but I thought it was pretty cool nonetheless… It’s in Dutch…. (in case you were wondering why [...]

For today’s post I am gonna try and explain how you can solve some of the problems that occur when shooting in low light or at night. Especially at this time of year it seems to be impossible to shoot your dinner in daylight since, well, most people don’t eat their main meal during lunchtime [...]
