Welcome to my home on the web! As always, it continues to be a great joy to share my culinary photography, cooking & entertaining adventures with you.

Love cheese? Us too. Browsing through my photo library I came across cheese photographs from various restaurants where we dined over the last couple years. The photos bring back memories of excellent meals. I thought I would compile them, thinking… Read more

truly a Renaissance woman….can’t believe i am just coming across your blog now~
Hi Nate – Welcome and thanks for commenting. If you are serious about art for your kitchen, I am happy to email you high resolution prints. Email me at sweetbay AT cox DOT net. And although I have enjoyed a lovely meal at Tru, the Chicago kitchen pictured here is Charlie Trotters.
Hi there – I stumbled in from Google – love the pictures! I’d like to echo Nina’s comment – I’d love a couple of these to put in my kitchen. Do I recognize Tru in there?
Hi Sandi and Merisi – I cooked in restaurant kitchens years ago. Wouldn’t trade those days for anything. Tony Bourdain’s “Kitchen Confidential” sure rang true.
Hi Nina – let me know if you would like me to email you higher resolution shots, happy to do it. Thanks for the compliment.
How I would like a couple of these posters in my kitchen – stunning.
I know from my brother’s place how hard the work in a restaurant kitchen is. Still, I keep dreaming about cooking in one.
Great photos. A kitchen is such a hotplate of activities!
I know that for sure!!!
Hi Susan – thank you. I look forward to taking more shots in the future. This was a fun project.
Hi Simona, Maryann, Cynthia, Marie and Lisa – Thank you very much. I think the black and white photography unfies these four different kitchens into one point of view. I was happy with the results.
And Marie – the kitchens were all pristine, as professional as you can get. When I saw your comment I thought about Colette in “Ratatouille” where she admonishes Linguini about the dirty sleeves on his chef coat
Great shots, Lori Lynn. The severe angles of cold, clean steel really rock in monochrome.
I love those photos! Wonderful.
It’s amazing how clean those kitchens are, they look imaculate!
In black and white they are powerful.
I love black and white photos. Good job!
Very interesting photo essay.
