Last night I had tacos for dinner. I did not have any traditional taco ingredients, but I really wanted to try to make a mole sauce. Below is the mole mixture before being blended:
I was also inspired to make blue corn tortillas from scratch, they turned out alright, but did not really work as a tortilla because they were not flexible enough–so they broke under the taco weight. Inside the taco was tofu, portabellas, cabbage and the mole sauce:
Well I am going to post what I have for dinner on a semi-regular basis. Part of the reason I like photographing food is because I enjoy preparing it, so I might as well show off what I prepare.
And last night I made pizza. I received a pizza stone for Christmas, and I am now trying to master making a pizza. The stone helps tremendously in creating great crust, but all my doughs are still hit and miss. The crust last night was not quite as elastic as I would have like, nor did it rise quite the way I would have liked, but it was still excellent.
One pizza had broccoli and bleu cheese, while the other had fresh mozzarella, olives and spinach.
I kept the photography of the pizza real simple for my first dinner-photo night (as I had just thought of this idea): one-strobe with no bounce or other light modifications. The lighting may be a little harsh for some, so next time I will prepare my setup beforehand and setup at least two lights.
