It's by a food stylist who has a horror of what she seems to refer to as the old-school method of food presentation (Elmer's glue, dish-soap, motor-oil.. EWwww) In her book she presents a number of dishes and presents them in two ways to show how food can be brought to the table as well as giving a few stylist secrets about dish colours versus food colours, food shape vs dish shape. I like the book a lot because the food looks great in the pictures AND they don't look horribly elaborate to create. Now taking the pictures the same way... that's a whole different story.Deetsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261827929150786107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18042094.post-1144712402632108342006-04-10T16:40:00.000-07:002006-04-10T16:40:00.000-07:00Yes to your comment above.

I hope it turns out well for you (still incapable of understanding tuna casserole from a box... not in my mom's house! God forbid!) <BR/><BR/>I think the problem with the pictures is that we are trying to recreate food porn like we see in cooking mags and books. I'm sure the food in those pictures is just for the "porn" only, not for eating too (like ours). Yes?Deetsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261827929150786107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18042094.post-1144445262545216002006-04-07T14:27:00.000-07:002006-04-07T14:27:00.000-07:00Wow, what a presentation!

This is also a very nostalgic recipe for me too - I'm going to try your version b/c mom's was from a box! <BR/><BR/>The camera conversation happens at our house too - that, and sometimes even cold food trying to get that perfect picture (ooops)!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537200901718762277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18042094.post-1144384299819947522006-04-06T21:31:00.000-07:002006-04-06T21:31:00.000-07:00cyndi: Can't say that I've ever known tuna cassero...cyndi: Can't say that I've ever known tuna casserole with mushroom soup.

I'm going to try this soon.<BR/>In your comment on my blog you thought I was in Texas--no, just the meat is done Texas-style (from my Texan mom and aunt), I'm in the mountains of southern California. At 6000 feet, whenever it rains in so cal, we usually get snow. Love your blog--it's going on my links!Cyndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485300845528483642noreply@blogger.com
