Let’s just do another easy one, I thought to myself when going through one of Donna Hay’s cookbooks. It should be a simple recipe but enough of a challenge in getting it right. Well… if only I had thought about that a little better.. I failed, I failed miserably in recreating the original that you [...]

Yes, well, what can you expect of a month such as December where everyone is running around and trying to get things organized and done before Christmas and new years.. So I realize that..

“O that’s gonna be an easy one.” I thought when going through the recipe for the creme brulee in Donna Hay’s book Modern Classics. Cream and eggs, what can go wrong right? Wrong! Ofcourse we have a Dutch saying that goes something like ‘Hoogmoed komt voor de val” and it precisely point out what I [...]

Are you all excitedly waiting for the new challenge to see if it is any better then the last one?? Well I can assure you it IS better then the last one, although it doesn’t take a lot to make it better. I thought about which recipe to pick a lot before choosing. It is [...]

If I say the results for the third ‘episode’ of the Donna Hay challenge are a bit disappointing then that has nothing to do with the quality of the entries, but more with the quality of the recipe and the quantity of the entries… A smashing total of 1 entry! Whoohoo!! Can you guess who [...]

Sometimes, just every so often, you try out a recipe and it is just plain wrong… I had never before have that happen with a Donna Hay recipe, so I guess kudos to their team for testing most of their recipes. And I say ‘most’ because the recipe I picked for this months Donna Hay [...]

There are those things that you can almost predict will go wrong. As I had told you when announcing the Donna Hay Challenge nr. 2, I didn’t have time to make the challenge recipe prior to the actual challenge so I had to do it still, just like the rest of you and then shoot [...]

Wow….it seemed I have stirred quite a few discussions with this Donna Hay challenge.. Which I guess is a good thing too. The discussion mostly centered around the question of replicating and copying someone style. Which is definitely a valid discussion and while this is indeed a challenge where you have to copy someone elses [...]

The first session of the Donna Hay Styling and Photography challenge did cause quite a bit of stir as there is a fine line between copying someone’s style and finding your own. I’ve said it a couple of times already but just to be absolutely clear on this; I am not trying to create little [...]

We all have our own heroes when it comes to food photography and styling and I’ve always been a huge fan of Donna Hay’s style and all the photographers she works with. It’s an uncluttered and beautiful style where the hero of the photo is always the food. Years ago, when I first started taking [...]

It’s been an unsettling week the last week, where you sort of start to wonder if you all of a sudden found yourself in a really bad movie… The week started with the funeral of my brother’s father in law who passed away the week before. I then got a phonecall a day later from [...]
