Hello everyone, I trust you are all well. Personally, I am absolutely in shock that it’s the second week of August! Where did this summer go?
A little house keeping: I hope you don’t mind, due to time constraints, I haven’t been replying to all of the comments you so generously leave on my blog but rest assured, I read every single one of them — sometimes more than once!
I’m finally taking part in a series put on by a blogger I’ve known about for quite some time…Celi from Fig Jam and Lime Cordial . I’ve followed this series “In my kitchen” with intrigue on many of my fellow blogs but I’ve never had much to talk about until now…you see, as I mentioned last week, I recently had my first real styling gig for an entire week! So there were many things “In my kitchen“. For this project, I had to venture into the centre aisles to make meal combos even easier for the busy "Mom". I also had to do a little shopping so that I have all the right tools (you really had to twist my arm for that one!). Indeed, the car was packed! Generally, photo studios provide only the basics, some spatulas, wooden spoons, some cookware, but if you need anything specific, you’d best bring it yourself! Needless to say, there is A LOT of shlepping.
I love this series…and love being a voyeur in your kitchen and the studio!

Eva, I wish I could also do the shopping part of your job 😉 I would love it! I am so happy to see the towel (is it moist?) under the cutting board. My wooden ones (even the heavy one) keep on moving all the time… (Apart from one plastic board which has special sticky “points” underneath). My kitchen drink is a glass of wine but of course not during the daytime 😉 Good luck with the future adventures and thanks for sharing your joy with us!

Thank you for you kind words Sissy. Yes the cloth is moist, I’ve been doing it for years at home, but only thought of it for “work” from a master stylist! I’m very excited and can’t wait to share more info about my new career!

What a fun peek into your kitchen! And we got to learn some styling tips, too (that electric fire starter to make grill marks). Fun post — thanks so much.

Did you have to pay out-of-pocket for all the new tools you need? Happy to be your assistant (will work for food :)) if you are doing a styling gig next time I am in Toronto. Hope you will post photos of the finished project. Wishing you continued success.

Not a lot of glamour in food styling, I guess. Just a lot of hard work and planning.

I thought a food photo studio must have been crowded with all the props and the stuff…didn’t realize that you have to bring your own.

Hi Angie, there is a prop stylist who brings the props, my stuff is just tools to make the food look good.
