Inspired by conversations on the FOOD52 Hotline, we're sharing tips and tricks that make navigating all of our kitchens easier and more fun. Since we're fine-tuning our recipe writing this week, we thought it'd be nice to talk about food styling, too.

The kitchen is wrought with sensory experiences: smell, sound, taste and touch are integral to how we interact with food. But, as they say (and we agree), “You eat first with your eyes.” It's true that even the most delicious recipes can fall flat if they lack a visual allure. But photographing food is a lofty practice, and invoking all five senses by way of just one is easier said than done. Lucky for us, the talented photographers at FOOD52 were kind enough to share some tricks that will make people salivate at the mere sight of your food -- as they should.

You know those little snack cakes and individually-wrapped treats that every kid had in their brown-bagged lunch growing up? I wasn’t that kid. I was the girl with a dinosaur-print thermos full of chicken noodle soup, a plastic bag full of enough carrots to feed a bunny family of 20, and a little can of tomato juice. Weirdest lunch ever, right? Growing up, my parents never kept any junk food in the house. No candy. I wonder if my sugar-free childhood had any influence on my decision to go to culinary school and study baking and pastry… I know my parents had good intentions, keeping the house free of junk food and unhealthy stuff.

I’ve never had a Twinkie, or a Snowball, or a Ding Dong, or a Good Time Snackie Cake. So when Ryan told me how much he loved those little oatmeal cream pies when he was a kid, I knew I had to try my hand at making them! …And did I mention they’re full of whiskey?

Here in Jerusalem, at the outskirts of the Ramot forest, every day I walked past a pile of pods that lay beneath the tree (Ceratonia siliqua) that they had fallen from. One day the forager’s identification lightbulb illuminated, and I realized that I’d been passing by carob pods. By the way, you don’t have to be in the Middle East to find carob trees growing. My friends in the western states of the U.S. should be able to find them as well. The smell brought back memories from my childhood: the hippie adults I was surrounded by thought carob was healthier than chocolate and therefore substituted it in many recipes.

But before I could make the carob ginger snaps, I had to make carob powder. It helps if you soften them. Carob Ginger Snap Cookies 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour. The Left Over Queen. The Front Burner. The Pioneer Woman | Ree Drummond.
