This is the time of year when we shift suddenly from outside grilling to inside stewing and roasting. We need soups, stews and roasted potatoes and squash. Fall food recipes contain a lot of pumpkin, followed by apple. Not that we really want to bake all that pumpkin - it just seems so comforting.
Huffington Post got my attention with its 22 foods you must cook this fall - and it too comments on this contrast between summer cookouts and fall baking. My guess is that mac and cheese will be on its list. This seems to me to be the 'back to school' dish of university students. I was rewarded. Theirs is a no-boil mac and cheese with crispy bread crumbs on top. The pictures are absolutely wonderful.
There are so many photographs of everything. Are there iconic food pictures that we all recognize?
What a surprise! I didn't find any famous pictures. Instead I found a most notable one. Here is Julia Child, on the set of the French Chef in the 1960s, with her studio "helpers". When I looked up this image, the actual title is "Julia's Posse". I like that they are all so formally dressed - like they work in an office.
I was very interested in photographing food when I took courses at Ryerson. Here are two of the images from then - on Instagram this is a recent image from one of the downtown Toronto food halls.
