Dishing up Summer: Making food look beautiful
At the recent Dishing Up Summer event at Fisher & Paykel, recipes for summer entertaining were prepared and photographed in style.
A lucky group of Dish readers were treated to an afternoon of sumptuous food and artful advice with food stylist extrordinaire, Sarah Tuck.
The celebrated cook, food stylist, blogger and author, who has Fisher & Paykel appliances in her own kitchen, showed an intimate group of foodies just how easy it is to prepare and then photograph a delectable summer feast.
Starting with fragrant Indian Chicken on Poppadums and zesty Coconut Lime Prawn canapés, Sarah charmed guests with her relaxed approach to entertaining. “Using Fisher & Paykel makes everything a breeze,” she says. “Plus, having such reliable appliances helps me get stuck into the fun part of cooking.”
Shared platters of Soy Glazed Salmon with two accompanying salads – Kumara Sesame and Edamame Avocado – added a casual vibe to the fun-filled demonstration.
Guests savoured both delicious food – the Lime Coconut and White Chocolate Mousse was a standout – and the rare chance to watch a true artist in action, as Sarah shared her tips for styling, and
then snapping, the ultimate food shot.
