After seeing Julie & Julia, I was inspired to cook. I cook every day, what I mean to say is I was motivated to make something new, that required a trip to the market for mysterious ingredients.
If you flip through any food magazine or cookbook on the stands today, you'll see beautiful photographs, styled with flair using the most elegant and interesting tableware and accessories. It's easy to get distracted from cooking when you simply MUST know where that Celadon plate is sold and whether something comparable is on EBay.
Food hasn't always been so photogenic. Early cookbooks had line illustrations or a handful of photos like the ones above (circa 1957 Betty Crocker).
