A girl
begins a blog, the blog becomes huge and the girl gets a bookdeal, it sounds
like a fairytale, right? But sometimes this actually happens. No, not to me,
sadly J,
but it did happen to Katie Quinn Davies.
She was a
graphic designer in Dublin and moved to Australia to be with the love of her
life. She wanted another career and finally decided in 2009 to become a food
stylist and photographer. I did not know this was an actual profession, but it
seems it is.
To showcase
her skills, she started a blog called What
Katie Ate and the rest, as they say, is history.
What Katie
Ate is now cookbook and in it are tons of recipes for breakfast, lunch, salads,
snacks and deserts. There are recipes for fish, meat, pasta’s, curry’s and
soups, it is not restricted to just one cuisine.
The recipes
are easy to follow and often start with a little anecdote about this dish.
And I must
say, the book looks amazing. The photographs are all by Katie’s hand and she
manages to make everything beautiful and scrumptious and delicious and
gorgeous. The photographs make you want to go into the kitchen and start
cooking. And that is the best kind of cookbook to have.
Another
great addition to my cookbook collection!

Regarding you not knowing that a food stylist and photographer was a career - I feel like everything and anything is a thing nowadays! Haha!
ReplyDeleteThis book looks interesting. If the front cover is anything to go by, then I can only imagine how beautiful the meals inside are!

I think you are right, if you want a career, then it is a career :-)
