They write about the contest on the Food & Wine Magazine web site.
The grand prize was a very spiffy Canon camera. Firts place winners got most excellent swag, as seen below!
The grand prize winner Jessica Thomson of Seattle, WA won with an image of “Papaya-Jalapeno Sorbet in Black and White Espresso Cups”. Very lovely.
The other three runners up are:
- Linda Nihot of Astoria, Ny with “Eggs in Bombay”
- Karen Bolla of Alameda, CA with “Pears”
- Christian Remy of Brooklyn, NY with “Cooling Pomegranate Syrup”
I got three books and a lovely letter from their director of photography. These are great books filled with lots of excellent food photography. Cant wait to dive into them!

Again, my thanks go out to Food & Wine for selecting my photo this year!

Thank you all for your kind words! I am deinitely enjoying the moment. Am very happy for the encouragment.. am hoping to catch up on some things now that the baby is a bit older )one month old!) and I can get away every once in a while to quickly put together a shoot.. talk about forced efficiency!
Anita: no shame! The food blog universe is huge!
