Food Photography For At Home Cooks
By: Eastshores
A lot of people that really love food, like talking about it online. If that weren't the case, cheftalk.com might be reduced to just a professional discussion board with a post a day discussing the latest professional equipment, or religiously zealous debates over which knife manufacturer is superior. So to fulfill this need, many have turned to online blogging, or something like cheftalk, where they can go and share with others their unique take on food. One thing is certain, images go a very long way toward expressing those food experiences. I wanted to take a moment to share with others a few pointers for doing food photography at home; hoping it will give you a new voice, one with visuals as enticing as your words!More great articles

Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle
by: Boar
The previous review is actually very good, but I felt it was a little enthusiastic. If it's a four or five star knife, what are Masamotos, Tadatsunas, and Kikuichis? Yes, Forschner Fibrox is an excellent knife for the price, but price aside, the chef's knives are just okay.
Generally, everything about the Fibrox and Rosewood lines (same except for the handle material) is generally "good to excellent for the price." Two happy exceptions are the butchering knives which are the industry standard; and many of the parers.... Full Review

organic in application, they also bring a level of class and
sophistication to an everyday drink... and are totally worth it!
