Class begins today, but it’s not too late to register. Bring your recipes, your camera and join us!
Giveaway: A seat in Cooking Up a Memory
The winner of the seat is commenter #14, Elise, who wrote:
I am always taking food photos. My most favorite is taking pictures when my husband cooks for me. Just last night he made me scallops and crab legs and of course I had to take a picture. Last year I tried documenting me making pizzelles, but I did not do such a hot job. I hope to learn how to do this. It was my favorite that my grandmother use to make.
Congratulations, Elise! Please contact us to claim your prize!

The reason I’m writing this post is to tell you that we have a brand new class here at reneepearson.com. It’s called “iShot That! The art of iPhone photography.” (more…)
