But perhaps most enjoyable is that when I cater an anniversary or birthday party I get to do “plating.”

Hey Kevin, I’m laughing at your cauliflower puree with Parmesan. We had the same last night, but made with Velveeta! It wasn’t half bad, considering cauliflower is not one of my favorite veggies.Do you use those bagged, “baby carrots” which aren’t, or do you have a market which sells real ones?Jennifer
Jennifer,There are a couple of stores nearby where I can sometimes find real baby carrots – which aren’t really babbies either, just a small cultivar.
I read your post with great interest. Isn’t it amazing how your skills in learning photography translate into a higher level of food presentation?
