Kosher Style

Kosher Style - Amy Rosen’s New Cookbook

Harissa Carrots

I recently had the pleasure of working on Amy Rosen’s new cookbook, Kosher Style. This is my third book i’ve shot with her and it’s quite different from the other books we’ve done together. Previously we teamed up to shoot Toronto Cooks and it’s sequel Toronto Eats. Both books focused on Toronto’s Restaurant scene and it’s chefs. This time around it’s all about Jewish food hence the funky title: Kosher Style.

Our goal here was to give a modern look to traditional kosher foods. This was a really fun learning experience for me and I got to try all kinds of foods i’d heard of but hadn’t had the chance to try like Gefilte Fish, Knishes and Blintzes.

I was fortunate enough to shoot this cookbook with an incredible team. Michelle Rabin handled the food styling and Madeleine Johari was the prop stylist. I couldn’t be happier with the results. The book doesn’t come out until later this fall, but i’m happy to be able to share a few of my favourite images with you.

Vegetarian Any Day

Vegetarian Any Day is finally out.  I shot this book a while ago and have been eagerly awaiting it’s release.  The recipes in this book are so good, especially the mushroom and caramelized onion pizza with brie and maple.

This is my fifth collaboration with Patricia Green and Carolyn Hemming (The Quinoa Sisters) these girls are amazing.  Food styling by the wild and crazy Nancy Midwicki. 😉

Lick Your Plate

Lick Your Plate by powerhouse sisters Julie Albert and Lisa Gnat comes out this week.  I don’t shoot as many cookbooks as I used to, but i’m really glad I got to shoot this one.

Stylistically, we took things in a completely new direction.  Hard punchy light with crisp defined shadows and lots of negative space for the food.

This was so much fun to shoot!

We shot this book over 10 days in my studio.  The lovely Nicole Young was our food stylist and Catherine Doherty did the prop styling.

The book is in stores now and the publisher is Appetite by Random House.

Here are a few of my favourite shots from the book.
