Book me in please. Yummy, yummy, Sweety. I'll take note of the recipe and check out that website too, but I think you can cook it better than me.

The colours look good. Yellow / gold on white is fine to me.

We had it for Takeaways last week - as I said before: "Y U M M Y"

Sweet..

this is very inviting.. very delicious looking recipe. colors, layout, text, are all perfectly done. good work
try changing the golden border with black or a little darker shade of gold to highlight the inside content.

i hav to say this is my favorite of the series so far Sweety :)
composition is perfect, lighting and presentation looks great
very pro stuff here :)

the touch of green on top of the chicken is perfect :)

if i was the owner of the resturant, i would gladly pay for a poster or menu like this :) well done

Hi Sweety,
This is the best manu with a recipe too!
great clarity and composition.

Cheers

Hi Sweety
I know I always say wonderful things about your work, and as always this one is sharp, beautiful in colours and light.
I do think though in this shot the chopsticks and especially the napkin were badly positioned for the macro view; the napkin is too small, too far away, and too out of context - to me it distracts from the food. It also looks as if it's balanced on the end of the chopsticks!
This is only my opinion but I love your work and I only ever expect the very best from you. :)
best wishes
Rew

Hi Sweety,

Regards,
Allan

Hi Sweety,

Exceptional food photography & presentation!

Well done
Constantinos

hi sweety
I'm much intriged by the way you present your food, if it weren't so far I would come for a taste:)

Real great presentation, thanks for the recipe!
Stefaan

You should make a cookbook!

Hi Sweety, I am going to have to go back and revisit all of you latest photos now, great idea! Your eye for presentation and perspective is just spot on really, well done!

The only comment I have to make is that perhaps you have "oversharpened" a little on the dish, but just a little, add softness to taste ;-)

Cheers

Steve

you are so clever, sweety. I am liking the 3 D effect yuo have here. .along with the recipe..thank you:-) Meagan

Hi Sweety,

Great continuation to previous postings. You could create an artistic book of recipes, which would please both the eyes and appetite! Well done!
Vassilis

Hello Sweety!

This one looks great, and very healthy! Worthed to try here !

Bravo!
Robert

PS You do not mind if we start printing your cards , and add them with our favorite recipies box ? (^_^)

I will need to translate it for Martine. But we will manage. Keep on the good work!
Robert

Hi Sweety,

OK, I'm right dealing with you on MSN about food :-)
In this case the recipe is maybe even better as the picture ;)All the ingredients are delisious, but please not too much ginger. As far as I'm concerned, double the amount of chicken and mushrooms. Yummmmmmmi

Nice picture too ;-)

Hans

BTW Hopefully you will suceed to buy the house you told me about. Have a great weekend!
