Hello,
Since there isn't a forum for food photography, I figured it fits right in this section as part of my "Travel and Living" genre. I have always loved food and have done a few commercial food shoots, among which is Solitude Cafe. However, I find myself venturing into the kitchen more and more and to my own surprise and also my family's I got right into preparing full-blown meals that we now enjoy either as a family lunch/dinner or social eating with friends over.
I think it may have a lot to do with the fact that I watch Discovery Channel's Travel and Living a lot esp Jamie Oliver, Kylie Kwong and Samantha Brown.

Italian Cuisine http://shimworld.com/gallery/Italian/
Teriyaki Chicken http://shimworld.com/gallery/Teriyaki/
Hainanese Chicken Rice http://shimworld.com/gallery/ChickenRice/
there was also a Stir Fried Noodles that just got too oily to photograph so I skipped it entirely. When the galleries appeared on my main site www.shimworld.com people start asking for recipes, something I hadn't expected and at this time, I have no plans to start a cooking site since the food I prepared and cooked were accomplished from the heart. The hands featured in my pics are either that of my wife or our domestic helper.
Hope you enjoy the galleries. All comments welcomed!
