My partner once employed a chef whose prime ambition was to escape the kitchen and to become a food photographer.
He enthused about just how difficult it was to photograph food well, and how much cheating went on to make a dish look succulent and delicious.
If you didn't cheat, then the food tended to look like shit, as the camera had a habit of lying.
This is a lesson awaiting the producer of Recipes for a working girl who, apart from the dubious nomenclature, really could try cheating at photography a little harder if she wants people to try the recipes.
The spinach dip (pictured) is all a little TOO redolent of the farmyard for my comfort.
