Blog for Imbibe:  Local Food, Loocal Wine

“The Italians do it best. Or at least in terms of regional food and wine, they’re certainly hot property at the moment. London restaurants Bocca di Lupo and the Polpo clan are bright and buzzing Italian offerings in a sea of drab pizzeria chains, serving up small plates ranging from crostino to fritto misto and battuto from their respective Italian regions. Yet where it gets really exciting is when these flavour-packed dishes are paired with wines from their local area, exacting a beautiful harmony between the flavours, textures and aromas…”

My second blog post for Imbibe is now live. Grab yourself a nice glass (or bottle) of something and have a read.

Blog for Imbibe:  Winter Warmers

“Brr!  It’s chilly outside!  So it’s a darned good thing that seasonal, sweetly-spiced tipples are creeping onto back bars and retailers’ shelves.  They’re drinks that hug you like a big woolly jumper and are all about comfort and enjoyment, warding off Jack Frost before he has time to nip at your nose…”

I was recently asked to contribute to Imbibe’s website as a blogger and the above is an extract from my first post, which went online at the beginning of the week.  To read my ‘Winter Warmers’ piece in full, head over to Imbibe.com.

D700 test shot, November 2011

I finally bit the bullet and bought myself a Nikon D700 today.  It’s been a long time coming but after using my friend’s D300 for the shoot with Futures last week, and loving the quality I got from using that camera, it made me realise that I really needed to upgrade from my trusty D80.  Working with a full-frame sensor will take a little adjusting to but I’m already loving the clarity of my test shots, better noise control at high ISOs and more advanced autofocus options.

I’m taking behind the scenes photos on a music video shoot tomorrow so we’ll see what this D700 can do.
