Check of my recipe for Pappa al Pomodoro (or tomato bread soup) on Stocksy's #FoodieFriday blog. It's a great cold weather dish you can't go wrong with.
... is the Basset Hound. Try and make this dog do ANYTHING he does not want to do! We need the hound whisperer .....

Edmund was kind enough to light up a Cuban cigar for me. (To his dismay, I didn't spring for a Cohiba)
Nice smoke in B & W
Lighting up
Happy to have my favourite stylist on this one .... my daughter Katie!
Harder than it looks. Good thing I was working with a pro!

Minute 2 and counting!
One of the biggest challenges when shooting ice cream is the ticking temperature clock. The ice cream is nice and cold out of the freezer, but it won't stay that way long! The key is to have the set completely ready, using stand-in ice cream to set your lighting and angles and then to swap them at the last minute for the "star ice cream". Even ice cream gets to have a stand in. There are only a few minutes to shoot before the ice cream is melted mess.
