Coconut oil is our staple cooking fat in our home. Coconut oil does not have an overpowering coconut flavor, so it is really ideal for all cooking. The slight hint of coconut flavor adds even more dimension to the dishes we create. Coconut oil is a saturated fat, and solid at room temperature. It is great for cooking in that it does not become damaged at higher temperatures. Coconut oil also offers many health benefits, to start it is one fat burning machine. It is also has amazing anti-viral properties, which will help keep illness away as well as clear up skin conditions. I personally use coconut oil not only for cooking, but also for home body care as well. Dry lips, deep conditioning hair treatment, face wash, and makeup remover. It is also fantastic for men to use to shave their faces (ladies you can use it as well for shaving).Bill and I have quickly become pretty dependent on this power food, so having a good quality (and bulk size) coconut oil available to us is very important. When purchasing coconut oil, you always want to make sure you are buying organic unrefined virgin coconut oil. A refined coconut oil is highly processed, does not offer health benefits, and smells like vasoline (yuck). We were very grateful to find a coconut oil from Tropical Traditions that we really enjoyed. We knew we would be getting a prime product from TT, and not to mention they always have specials running on their products. We use several different coconut products for many recipes, and it is great to find such high quality products all from one source.We will definitely be ordering more of the green label coconut oil from Tropical Traditions. We love their products, and only use their coconut flour. We highly recommend this company, not only for their great products, but also for their wonderful customer service. Below are links to the same products used in our book Make it Paleo. Click the link, and enjoy!Tropical Traditions Green Label Virgin Coconut OilRecipes

We get a lot of questions about our food photography and styling on a pretty regular basis. It's incredibly flattering, actually - because no more than a year ago our photography was nothing to be proud of! After a few months of reading and practicing, our style and quality developed to a point where we were constantly getting questions about our camera gear. To be quite honest, it felt like creating a post like this would be a bit fraudulent of us, as we were still learning the basics

what

[I love this photo of a stuffed medjool date, dusted with pecan meal. This whole blog post, actually, has some really nice macro shots of the food that nicely showcase the capabilities of this lens.]Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8LThis lens is what many pro photographers consider the 'workhorse' of the Canon line. It is one hell of a good lens. The "L" designation on the lens literally stands for "luxury" as the L series lenses are the absolute top of the line that Canon offers. This glass is crystal clear and sharp from corner to corner. If you see all the photographers on the sideline of an NFL game, you'll see many are using Canon L series telephoto lenses. While we do not own this lens, this is one that Helene uses for her food photography. If that isn't a worthy endorsement, I don't know what is. She is one of the very best food bloggers on the net (and in print, if you ask me). I'm hoping we have a 24-70mm lens in our future. Hey, Santa...?There are many other great lenses out there. Be sure you fully understand what you're getting into before you click 'buy'. For instance, do NOT buy a Nikkor lens for a Canon camera. Nikon and Canon cameras do not have interchangeable lenses. Check out craigslist for photographers jumping ship from one brand to the other. You can often get great deals on well-cared-for lenses. We also have a 70-250mm lens in our pile of equipment, but it is very rarely used for food photography. FlashSo, you have a camera and a great lens. Your dish is due to come out of the oven at 7:00 pm. Thats great, except you've run out of daylight for shooting the photo. Daylight is indeed the absolute best (in my opinion) lighting for shooting food photos. In fact, I'm going to dedicate a future installment of Food Photography Basics and Tips to the art of working with natural light. But say you live somewhere like... Pittsburgh.... and natural light isn't always abundant or even available at certain times of the year. Yep, I'm looking at you November, December, and January: I hate you. The sun goes down around 5:00pm here. If you're looking to take good photos of your dinner creations, you better plan to have them ready to shoot by 4:30 at the latest. Not ideal. Therefore, a flash is a good alternative for many folks that have time constraints with their cooking. Canon Speedlite 430EX IIWe use, and love this flash because it offers great control and intelligence. You can adjust the brightness of the flash up or down. A situation that may call for adjusting the flash down would be to decrease the shadowing in a photo (also known as 'filling' the photo). This flash has a swivel head, so you point the flash away from the source of light - out into the room - which allows the light to bounce off of the walls and create a soft fill of light. Here is an example of that in practice: Other situations may call for filling the photo with more light than would be natural. This isn't often the case with food photography, but we utilized this technique when shooting products for a spread in our book. In this case, we positioned the products under a skylight, on a few pieces of foam core board. The shot itself had great light, but we wanted to 'blow it out' to give it an artistic look. This also helped in that our editing time was significantly decreased because there were fewer seams to photoshop out. Here is the result:Sometimes we will also cap the flash with a Sto-Fen diffuser for even softer light. For about 10 bucks, its a nice little addition to have in your bag of tricks.TripodA tripod is not always necessary, but we have a travel tripod that is a constant companion in our bag for those times when we could use a steady shot. We will use the tripod if we are shooting in low light with slow shutter speeds (anything under 1/30 sec, for me personally, has the potential to be blurry from an unsteady hand). Sometimes I will overcome this by setting the camera to shutter priority ("Tv" on the camera dial), and will make the other settings such as aperture and ISO to adjust based on the shutter speed. We also use the tripod to shoot a lot of our videos. Having a steady camera for videography is a must.UV FilterAll of our lenses are protected by a small, clear UV filter at the end. This keeps dust and grit away from the expensive glass lens. For about $15-20 a pop, a clear UV filter is a good investment to protect your glass. When buying, be aware of the size of your lens - they can be different sizes.Camera BagOh yeah, you'll need something to keep it all in. We have a nice Lowepro shoulder bag, which fits the camera, tripod, and 3 lenses comfortably (not to mention a sto-fen diffuser, an extra battery for the camera, and the wall charger). It is a great investment because everything we need is in one safe, easy to transport case. We love it.Memory CardWe use a 32GB memory card in our camera. I originally got this because I wanted to capture a long weekend of driving mountain roads in the Smoky Mountains with my dad on our GoPro HD video camera. In our T1i, it will record 15 minutes before passing out, filled to the brim with 30+ gigabytes of video. Thats a heck of a lot of data! --------------------------------------------So, did you get all of that? If you're still confused about any of this - check out some of the links below. We've done a lot of reading, and there are plenty of smart people out there that know WAY MORE about cameras and photography than we do. These are just the bare-minimum basics for food blogging.
