Hello & Chào. Welcome to our world of photography and food behind the kitchen, behind the scenes. We're photographers, travelers and gardeners. Read More...
Hi Friends, how has your 2012 been treating you? We still can’t believe this month is coming to and end. Wasn’t it just yesterday that we were wishing a farewell t0 2011 with our Life Recipes video? Maybe that’s what being on the road and being buried in work does to ones grasp of time. But we wouldn’t have it any other way because we feel so lucky to be working with fabulous people and photography projects.
As you can tell, we’ve been a bit absent on recipe sharing over the last few months. We miss being away from our home kitchen and although we haven’t been posting on our home cooked recipes, we’ve certainly been eating really well. Really, really well.
We’re excited to announce the next Food Blog Forum conference in Orlando, Walt Disney World! Jaden & Scott from Steamy Kitchen, Dawn from Dawn Viola , Julie from The Little Kitchen and us are thrilled to be organizing another event to bring everyone together for a weekend of learning, sharing and inspiration.
A full day of presentations and smaller, intimate round tables are planned on the packed agenda. Also included are some meals, pre-parties and after parties.
A huge thank you goes out to Walt Disney World for being so generous and working closely with us to make this a smashing event.
Because of the amazing value that we’re offering the event at, seats are limited and this event is expected to sell out quickly.
Too much of a good thing is certainly possible. Take for example, my favorite sandwich in the world, Vietnamese Banh Mi. But wait, before you blame me for being biased (you’re absolutely right anyways), allow me to clarify a few things about my subjective love of this sandwich.
Yes, I’m Viet-Nam born, am Vietnamese at heart, and grew up eating banh mi for as long as I can remember when I started chewing solid foods. I often took this sandwich for granted as a grade school kid and was often embarrassed about taking it into my school lunch bag for »
This video is dedicated to you all, to each and every single person who has impacted our lives this year. Because of your friendship, our lives are richer in ways that we never, ever imagined.
2011 was tremendous for us. New friendships forged and fresh faces that we were finally able to meet at our workshops and conferences. To connect with those of you that we only knew online and to hear your stories strengthens our commitment to share, embrace and give back. Thank you to all our old, forever friends who inspire us to be better people.
One of the best jobs in the world is doing what you love. It doesn’t really matter what it is, as long as you love doing it. For us, working with food and wonderful people devoted to their craft of feeding, cooking and creating in the kitchen keeps us satisfied and happy. The folks over at Cooking Channel are a fine example of dedicated, passionate individuals who love and care about food to the tenth degree.
We were super thrilled to be asked by Cooking Channel to contribute some recipes and photography to their blog, Devour. Working with the Cooking »
Thanksgiving. Post-Thanksgiving stupor. Holiday parties. Travel. Shopping. Gift-giving cooking. Post office purgatory. Christmas. New Years. Visiting family and friends. Bowl game parties. NFL game gatherings. With all of this thrown on top of everyday life, as the cooks in our clans it isn’t surprising most of us feel like we just got Gronked.
Yet most of us wouldn’t trade it for the world. For some, cooking in the kitchen is a chore, yet for most of us, it is one of the best places in the world. A place where we pour our hearts and souls into the food to bring a »

Hello lovely friends. I went shopping again and spent quite a bit of time on Etsy. And this is always a good thing.
Searching through stores of handmade crafts on Etsy is something I can spend hours doing. Ultimately I get click happy and start adding to my cart every time »
We’re excited and honored to be a part of the advisory committee for Blog Her Food 2012 in Seattle, WA! It was a pleasure to be speakers at their 2009 & 2010 events and the new friends, inspiration, encouragement and community bonding we experienced was really wonderful. To share and learn with like minded, passionate people in the food community really reminds us of why we love what we do.
The next conference will be in Seattle, Washington on June 8-9, 2010 and we’re looking for new speakers!»
This past Summer we traveled to Texas to film Georgia Pellegrini’s promo video for her new book, Girl Hunter. We were thrilled to be able to have the opportunity to work with Georgia. Have you heard of Georgia and her accomplishments or visited her site? If not, you should, she is amazing.
Georgia graduated from Harvard and worked in finance at Lehman Brothers in New York City. But something drew her to food and so she left finance and entered culinary school at The French Culinary Institute in New York City, where she graduated at the top of her class. »
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of belly happy food that put you in a coma for a few hours. What’s a Thanksgiving without the typical surrender shout of “Omg, I ate too much I couldn’t help myself”? Normally every year we’ll indulge and look forward having a few days of extra left overs to nosh on. But this year we were so disciplined about how much we ate that we didn’t even have any left overs. Believe it or not, it’s true.
We spent our holiday up in San Francisco with family and had to drive back »
