A writer’s food diary


I’m finding the simple act of photographing my food is the perfect way to bring my attention back to the day and away from the words for a while. Writing is so heady; taking photos rests my poor old brain. Biscuits also help ;-)

  4. I agree that photo-taking can be a nice stress reliever and an escape – especially when food is the subject! You’ve got some really lovely food photos here, I thoroughly enjoyed them all!

  5. Susannah – I would love to purchase a scan of the NICE biscuit photo – I’m serious. I’m dying in love for it :)

    Also, you’re really motivating me to reconsider my all white dishes. I do love how they set off food, but lady, your assortment of printed dishes is so divine – and look divine with food, too. . .hmmm, this might be a new collecting activity for me :)

    hee! bless your heart – it’s a crappy low-res pic, though – taken with the Instagram app which unfortunately doesn’t save to high res :(

  7. Oh, all of these images of food are extraordinarily comforting. You know, I don’t read “food blogs” anymore — there was always something about the perfectly-photographed food that made me nervous, and feel badly about my suppers of tinned oysters, cheese and maybe a banana — but these Instagram images are just so much more… relaxed. And homey.

  10. When I sit down to dinner with my friends (most of whom are techies and bloggers), no one ever picks up a fork until they snap a picture of their dish.

    We call it “Blogger’s Grace”.

  14. I’ve got a serious case of plate-envy! My granny had the lovely blue plate in the top picture and my mum had the one with the orange on it in the 70s- it was famous I think, altho can’t remember the name!
