Lauren Cheong

Another inspiration post! It's spring and it's time to un-thaw those creative ideas that have been building up all winter.

Lauren Cheong, food photographer, who I found in a maze of research for a local event I'm planning with TPMG. I not only love the simple style of the website but the images as well. Nice clean crisp colors and textures. So well lit.

I've been trying to find a place to host a food photography event in Toronto and am coming up empty. As a local hobbyist group we certainly don't have the funds to rent out a big space with a full kitchen. My best hope, Loblaws, who have these great teaching kitchens - nope. So disappointing. Next stop is the local rec centers around the city that we may be able to rent out. This is proving more work that I wanted as I honestly thought Loblaws would pull through. Once we get a good space the works the follow up events will be easy easy!

It's also been a rough baking week. My attempts to make my Grandma's tomato soup cake ended in a mess on Sunday. I guess when I copied the recipe over I missed a cup of flour.... oops! So after 50 minutes of baking a loaf cake and it was still wet... I knew something was up. I'll have to try this again and make sure I have the right recipe in front of me. It's really a great cake!
