I recently had the opportunity to work on Toronto Life's first Cookbook. Working with 40 of the city's top chefs mostly on location, it was such a fun project to be part of.The formidable duo Raina+Wilson shot some amazing portraits of the chefs and Reena Newman did some really nice food shots as well. Here are my favourites from the book.
