Garland Truffles for The Local Palate Magazine

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Garland Truffles in Hillsborough, NC, to shoot a story for THE LOCAL PALATE Magazine out of Charleston, SC. It was fascinating to see how truffles are harvested and listen to Franklin Garland talk about how he got started growing truffles. The best part of the shoot, of course, was the truffle-filled dishes we got to sample all day.

The Cookie Sandwich Co.

Just finished a shoot for the Cookie Sandwich Co. of San Diego. These unique cookies are made up of gourmet cookies with flavors such as red velvet and carrot cake, which are reminiscent of cakes. Two cookies are sandwiched together with delicious fillings. The cookies are baked and shipped immediately. If you'd like to order some, visit http://www.cookiesandwich.com/ and use the promo code PHOTO25 for a 25% discount until the end of February.

SAGE MOUNTAIN FARMS

When we think of farms, the images that come to mind are often romanticized scenes of people filling baskets with fresh-picked produce or seated around a rustic table for a meal. So you may be in for a bit of a shock when you get there, especially if you arrive during the day when most of the work is done. The heat, dust and terrain quickly let you know this is back-breaking work. Nonetheless, it is fun being on a farm and the flavor of freshly picked produce is something else altogether. Look out for the story in the winter issue of Edible San Diego which is out at the end of this month. http://www.facebook.com/ediblesandiego

THE SMOKING GOAT

Every once in a while you come across a restaurant that is just right- food, ambience and feel. The Smoking Goat in San Diego was all that and more….the moment I walked into the space I saw potential photographs all around. From the austere color palette to the paper table covers, everything felt casual and homey and the food matched the inviting aesthetic.
