Food lovers – FXcuisine.com

I’ve been following Francois-Xavier’s website FXcuisine for a few years now. For those of you who are into the art of cooking, this food instructional/cooking website is a must see. You will be blown away by his mouth watering recipes, photography and step-by-step instructions. I made his Lasagna from scratch recipe ’sans’ the fresh lasagna pasta at a dinner party and it was as good as it looks – even better! FX’s food photography is a must see – that man can make a spoon look sexy! Also, be sure to view the camera he’s got rigged up in the kitchen (scroll down on his About Me section).

A must see for the foodie!

The SCOOP on Gwyneth Paltrow’s GOOP

I recently found out about Gwyneth Paltrow’s new food and lifestyle website GOOP from her visit to the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. I love it and visit often. Lot’s of recipes especially vegan recipes. I am quite fond of the website design – it’s so functional, clean and fresh. I want badly to see her post a cooking video with her husband Chris Martin from Coldplay – but I don’t think that’s going to happen!

So I happened to watch her latest YouTube video Quick Roast Chicken and Potatoes when low and behold she’s got the exact Peugeot salt and pepper grinders as me! I feel so connected to Gwyenth through our salt and pepper grinders! Check out a snapshot of the video below.

Just posted my famous Black Bean salad recipe pictured above. Everyone seems to love it and it’s easy to make. Just a reminder that all the food photography that will be posted on here is 100% the real dish. I photographed this one on my dining room table.
