Swell Kitchen

Fresh, handmade bacon, spinach and cheese ravioli tonight. New techniques that I’m practicing for my next shoot. Yummy research!

Swell Kitchen. A collection of family recipes (thanks Mum), food photography and tips and tricks for anything and everything I cook. Check it out!

Corn Fritters. An absolute family classic in our handwritten recipe book. Fluffy, crispy, sweet and chewy. _________________________________ #foodporn @allswellcottage #westcoast #vancouver #dowhatyoulove #foodie #bestrecipes #darkfoodphotography #foodphotography #swellkitchen

I am selecting historical reproduction tin ceiling tiles as a backsplash to my oven in the Swell Kitchen at Allswell Cottage, as well as a firescreen behind my Jøtul iron fireplace. While I would have loved a fleur-de-lis pattern to speak to my deep love affair with Quebec and especially Quebec City, they have none. Which would you choose?

So creative! Just from things we already have at home. I'm going to try a few of these!

I am so excited to get this page going. Stay tuned for pics of the Swell Kitchen renovation, a blog post on the background story and more about me. Coming soon!
