The essence of capturing a great meal, I believe, is firmly based on the welcoming angles, soft lighting, and bright detail that I attempt to highlight after each plating. The intentional blending or marriage of the colorful leaves, stalk and stamens of a flower with colorful vegetables, starches, seafood and meats, tell a story of my love and passion for a beautiful, welcoming and well-plated meal. Oh, and let's not forget about a lovely pairing of a silky libation. Enjoy!
