Fisher Nuts Features Our Sweet Potato Risotto with Glazed Walnuts

Last fall, our original "Sweet Potato Risotto with Spicy Maple Glazed Walnuts" recipe was one of the Top 10 finalists in the Fisher Nuts "My Fresh Twist" Recipe Contest. We won a monetary prize, a signed copy of Alex Guarnaschelli's cookbook Old School Comfort Food and, naturally, bragging rights. The final part of our prize just came this week, and that is Fisher Nuts having our recipe professionally cooked, styled, photographed, and featured on their website. How cool is that?!?!?

Here's the link to the feature on their website, and the beautiful photograph you can see there, or above. We think it looks amazing. 

Thank you to Fisher Nuts and Chef Guarnaschelli!!!

Food Porn and a Favor

The Food Porn: Have you heard the term "food porn"? People like us, foodies with food blogs, might use that term to describe our food photography. And we're not the only ones. TouchVision is an internet news channel that streams a variety of "NewsMovies" on pop culture items, current affairs, weather, and various and sundry other topics including food. And they wanted one of our photos for their "Food Porn: Burgers of the East" segment. Woo hoo! One caveat: all of these burger photos will make you drool, so don't watch if you're hungry. Ours is the fourth one - the Fried Cheeseburger from Shady Glen in Manchester, CT, which is right down the road from us (fortunately or unfortunately, we're not entirely sure). 

The Favor: If we can ask again so soon after last week, two of our recipes are in the running in the "My Fresh Twist" recipe contest over at Fisher Nuts. If you are willing, and have a moment, check out our recipes and vote for one, or both, of them. You get 5 votes per day from October 23 until November 5. The links are below. Many thanks!
