Mexican Chilli Powder is a seasoning blend of herbs & spices, garlic and salt. Don’t be tempted to substitute regular chilli powder for it in a recipe or you may get a nasty surprise!
(Swipe for the recipe)
Tomorrow I will post a recipe for Spicy Black Beans using this flavoursome blend 🌶 🧄 🌿

The real story here isn’t the photograph of my marmalade (it’s Grapefruit & Vanilla and Mandarin & Whisky, just fyi).
My sister - @elizabethkarori - who is a brilliant artist, took my photo and ran with it (I think she’s still running!)
It’s fascinating watching her build layers and colours, inserting her particular take on the world into an ordinary, everyday scene of domestic endeavour.
It feels very similar to the building of the shot for me.. there’s a lot of trial and error, swapping out of props, frustration with the struggle between what’s in my imagination and what’s really happening!
Swipe to see just a few of her pictures at different stages (by the time I’ve written this some of them will have changed again 😃)
For the marmalade recipe see my previous post

Leftover from a shoot, these pink-fleshed grapefruit made a delicious marmalade. This recipe takes a couple of shortcuts; no slicing or soaking the fruit.. it’s all done and dusted in less than an hour. (Swipe for recipe)
P.S. V annoyed by my crap proof reading - should say « or by pulsing in a blender or thermomix “ 🙄

A commonly asked question about food shoots is "What happens to the food?" Well, that all depends, but I prefer to err on the side of caution. While there is no need for the "shaving cream & motor oil" approach to food styling, in commercial food photography the aim is to make the food look its very best for the camera which is different from making it to eat straight away. Despite the food almost always being technically edible, it has also often sat around for a while, been handled a lot, is possibly slightly undercooked, and so on. My litmus test is always "would I eat this?" and if the answer if no then the safest thing to do is throw it out. On the other hand, there are plenty of times when whatever has been photographed does end up on my dinner table (or the neighbours') and consumed with relish. Pictured is actually the remnants of props for a recent food styling job, and they definitely called for a batch of pesto! Keep it utterly simple and serve traditionally with pasta, or dollop it into warming winter soups!
