    Thanks! It was yum.

    Chicory in Sheese sauce, corn-on-the-cob, steamed potatoes and veggieburgers for dinner tonight.

    ^ See what I mean

    That looks lovely Beanstew. Are they homemade veggie burgers?
    The chicory sounds intriguing..........I've never tried that.

    They are from a dry mix.

    Thanks, packet mix is best............at least anytime I've tried to make homemade burgers they always fall apart!
    I'll have a look out for chicory tomorrow and give it a go.

    Made some vanilla light sponge fruit cupcakes with vanilla frosting for my Dad and Gran (who are both big time meat-eaters). They loved them! Yay! ^_^
    Here's a rubbish camera phone picture of the cupcakes:

    I must try that DiaShel.........I've tried a few times to make my own veggie burgers but so far they break up when I fry them.

    p.s. Or maybe my food is just plain horrible looking!

    Thanks Kitteh for helping me out. xxx

    That's were I've been going wrong.............it's always night time when I take a photo of what I've made and it just comes out a sort of uniform yellow colour..........not very appetising at all!

    My kitchen is really dark so I use a flash with a diffuser.

    Thanks Risker. This looks very pretty, but kind of confirms my fears about Saf, which is that it's arty-farty nouvelle cuisine with small portions that leave you hungry. I'd love to be wrong - am I?

    It spreads the light out a bit and is built into the flash. It's an external flash. If your pictures are coming out yellow the white balance may be wrong. Do you have a setting on your camera for that?

    The portions aren't massive but if they were any bigger I would have struggled to eat 3 courses, some of it is quite calorie dense too like the cashew cheeses and quiche. I was stuffed by the end of the meal.

    I was surprised when I went to Saf about how filling the small looking portions were. Tasty too! Too expensive for regular visits though.

    You can buy diffusers from companies like Speedgraphic http://www.speedgraphic.co.uk/flash_...tc/187_0c.html if you are using an accessory flash gun with something like an SLR. The Sto-fen Omnibounce is a low-cost option. A softbox is even better (though dearer) and is what a professional product photographer would use in a studio. If you only have a built-in flash on your camera, a (clean) paper tissue or a white cloth held over the flash when you take a picture gives a similar effect at no extra cost. You might need to experiment with doubling the tissue to over to get more thickness and extra diffusion - but that is all part of the fun of photography.

    A Rizla works pretty well as a cheap diffuser too.

    Many thanks for confirming about Saf. I may well eat there some day; from everything I've heard, the food is good. But methinks I am more attracted to Beanstew's picture of chilli. Ah, the many and varied joys of vegan food!
    Am currently on the road; look forward to new cake pictures and some very yummy photos of food eaten in D.C. once I get back online properly..

    I agree. That cream doughnut makes my mouth water. Maybe she could drop you one round. It's not far - only two inches on my map.

    Would a similar thread, with images of good vegan food - but which also contained the actual recipe - be a good idea? If no specific recipe has been used, or more or less detailed description of how the meal/food was could be added instead.

    Some recipes (most of those in recipe books, I guess) are copyrighted, but in such cases, it would be enough to mentioned which book/recipe is called. What do you think?

    Excellent idea Korn. Don't think there would be much of a problem with copyright as most people (if they're anything like me) adapt recipes anyway so they differ from the original. I think it would be great to know how they're done. Especially Kitteh's cream doughnuts!

    Actually Korn. Had another thought. Would it be worth making a searchable database, perhaps freeform. that people could post into? I haven't actually seen one for vegans anywhere else.

    Sure - I still think it's a goo idea to have the kind of thread I suggested... We have five long food picture threads already, and a separate thread (recipe sub-forum) where pictures and recipe links always appear in the same post would eg. be useful for people who needs a quick recommendation for a good looking meal - or good cookbook - without spending time on trying to figure out where that recipe is from, or what t's called (in order to search for it somewhere).

    There's of course nothing wrong whatsoever with also having threads with food pictures without references.

    I just think the other solution is more useful, for more people - especially vegan newbies.

    Sorry, I missed this post before the thread was closed (again: use start a new one!)....
    Yes, we could have a separate section for recipes - but it would have to be searchable using the normal standard search feature, otherwise, people would have to search different places. Right now it seems that a separate thread (maybe even a subforum? hmmm....) called 'Recipes with pictures' would be just as useful. But thanks for the suggestion. Let's think about it....

    PS - before anything else, the vBUlletin team needs to improve the Search function here. vB4 search has some improvements, but the old (pre vB4) version was a lot easier to use.

    As promised! I am back from the road and have three sets of pictures. The first are some simple dishes I made in August. The second are some cakes I made before going away (for my Mum's birthday, a neighbour's birthday and a hen night (batchelorette party)). The third are from a restaurant in DC. I'll put the second and third batches in subsequent posts.
