The Messy Baker

Charmian Christie's 'The Messy Baker' has hit the shelves and we're thrilled with the final result.In shooting this book, our goal was to show baking as it happens in the real world - sweet, savoury, messy and fun. Keeping things loose & playful, chapters are broken up into crumbly, dippable, sloppy, smudgy, gritty and drippy. The book is beautifully designed by Amy King and the Rodale design team.

Flavour Principles

Here is a sneak peak at Lucy Waverman and Beppi Crosariol's new cookbook, Flavour Principles, due out in the fall. We shot this cookbook over 2 weeks in Lucy's beautiful home last September. The house was turned upside down as the living room and dining room were converted into a studio and the basement was filled with props. I'm sure she was happy to have her home back after we left.

I've admired Lucy's work for a long time and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with her on the new cookbook. Her recipes are by far some of the best I've shot. Visually, the sense of colour, texture and freshness made these recipes a pleasure to shoot, and absolutely delicious to eat!

We saved the cocktail shoot for the end of the shoot, and as you can see in the last shot, Beppi's cocktails were a smash hit!
