C- for Photography

As you may have noticed, we are not food photographers.

Pick up the latest "Sunset" magazine and you will see images of food that look too good to be true. Often times the ingredients have been stacked on the center of the plate with engineered precision, and some rich colored sauce of exotic truffle oil is dotted and drissled about the plate with a painter's flair. It all comes together with the technical mastery and artistical genious of a photographer who has deftly possitioned a myriad of lighting equipement, worth a small fortune, around the table to capture even the most minute texture of every morstle. The resulting image is then disected pixal by pixal, washed and waxed by an army of Adobe products, and printed in high resolution for your enjoyment. And it is a joy to behold!

Here at Superfood Eats we have no idea what we are doing. Armed with budget level cookware, plain white dishes, and scartched sliverware we employ our marginal cooking ability to produce food that pleasures your sense of taste and nourishes you body. Often times, it's a pile of slop, not a tower of culinary perfection.

Do yourself a favor and try our recipes despite the unapatising photo!
