Food Photography Award

we won first place--twice!Writers and photographers Jai and Bee at Jugalbandi.com host a monthly food photography contest centered around a specific theme--the month of September was themed crust, and, well, after submitting since the first time last March, I finally won. haha! It really is quite an honor---the competition is quite stiff, and the some 70 contestants are all incredibly talented food stylists and photographers (ahk ahk im a contestant--so i think i just called myself incredibly talented, call me Odysseus.)

Anyways--we at the Salty Cod placed first for our photo of Milk and Honey Challah Bread, and also first for the category of most original. And guess what--we are one of the judges for Novembers contest now. chouette! We think of this little tiumph over here as, well, maybe we actually are doing something right.

Visit Jugalbandi to view contest rules and peruse the other entries--

à bientôt
