The things I find on Friday!<\/p>\n

The weather in Byron Bay is so mild that even though we finally installed air-conditioning in our house\u2026. We haven\u2019t yet have time to enjoy the instant warm air it provides. This week I travelled throughout the Northern Rivers region to photograph more new recipes to add to the successful Byron Bay cookbook<\/a>! Fist I took the road north to Kingscliff and chatted to Doug the executive chef who runs the kitchen at the totally renovated Kingscliff Beach Hotel<\/a>, a fabulous venue for afternoon drinks or if you are planning a big party of wedding a great place to celebrate.<\/p>\n

Restaurants and hotels in Australia keep on surprising me with their stunning locations, another one that is fabulous for sunset dining is the Ballina RSL<\/a> where I photographed two new recipes, a prawn curry and and something that always fancies me\u2026Mussels! I will share the recipes with you soon.<\/p>\n

I always make sure I have plenty of great dishes, wooden boards and fabrics with me when I am shooting restaurant food, quite often the restaurant plates are white, large and square with can be tricky for me to shoot the food.<\/p>\n

I had a few plates from the golden brown fox<\/a> with me on my tour and when at Rae\u2019s in Watego<\/a>, Guy the talented young chef was very intrigued by them, there is something special about eating your food from a hand thrown plate. I will share the link below.<\/p>\n

My husband and I love dining out and a place we always return to with or without friends is The Italian at Pacific<\/a>, where head-chef Will looks after us and let us try some of his newest dishes. Totally my pleasure that this week I was able to photograph one of his creations. I have to say creations cause Will really plates the food like an artist, using the colours and shapes of produces beyond normal food on a plate. So styling wise I decided to let the food be the hero and it ended up with just the dish.<\/p>\n
