Your concept, while popular here in the US and seems to be spreading to strip-malls, looks really fresh and very well done on your site. I love that you are bringing the local and organic ethic to the prep-a-supper concept. I hope you all do very well! It looks like you all have all the skills and great friends and backers. If I lived closer (by several 1000 miles) I would be there in a flash! I think that your photos are beautiful and do a good job of speaking to abundance. I am sure you all will work it out :-) My only suggestion might be bring out a warmer light and bounce it deeper into the abundant amounts of food. So: shift color a bit warmer and bring up the intensity. Your photographer may have wanted a particular look that includes these attributes so my suggestions may not be relevant.

I dont think I am your usual food snob ... I dont have that sort of budget. When I think of food snob I think of people who take a flight just to go to El Bulli or The French Laundry or Alinea .. yeeesh, I have to budget the cost of gas getting to my big box grocery store, not whether or not I might fly off this weekend to visit this cute little restaurant that just opened on the coast of France. It would be great that those food snobs would go eco too but I doubt it!

I have to admit that I find most of Food & Wine off topic for me because I do not (cant really) drink wine (I am hypersensitive to sulfates - even in supposed sulfate free wines and also to alcohol in general).

But Kris who we use is very talented and I'm sure we'll get there for the food.
