Chefs Giving Back ~ South Park Magazine

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

If you know me, you know I love food, cooking, dining out and collecting cook books! I also love to tell stories of people who give back, pay it forward or contribute to their community.  So I was thrilled to work with South Park Magazine this month to photograph two top Charlotte chefs Gene Briggs and Paul Ketterhagen, and their special dishes for a feature on the upcoming March of Dimes Signature Chefs’ Auction November 3 at Carmel Country Club. Briggs, executive chef and partner of Blue Restaurant and Bar prepared a Rabbit Stifado and Ketterhagen, executive chef at Carpe Diem prepared a Tomato Cobbler. Both chefs will be participating in this special dinner to benefit the March of Dimes ~ Proceeds benefit the March of Dimes mission to promote healthy babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. You can read about the chefs, their dishes and their commitment to charities in the November issue of South Park Magazine and you can see the fun photographs I took here ~

 

SouthPark Magazine ~ A Culinary Adventure

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

I am so pleased to share with you my latest client, SouthPark Magazine, a gorgeous, smartly written, edited. photographed and designed slick shiny magazine put out by the Charlotte Observer company. I am honored to work with such a great team of editors, and my assignments have been so varied and interesting. This month I worked with Carrie Leonard, (AKA)  Culinary Carrie as she is known. What a wonderfully warm person and a fantastic chef! She teaches culinary classes at Johnson & Wales University, is the resident chef on Charlotte Today on WCNC-TV , and is launching a new venture, the Chef Factor. In the October issue of SouthPark Magazine, Chef Carrie is featured in a story promoting healthy eating habits and two tasty recipes are included ~ Quinoa and Fresh Herb Shrimp Salad and Spicy Crab Salad on Chilled Canteloupe. Carrie is a renal cell carcinoma survivor herself and promotes a healthy diet and lifestyle through her teaching and cooking demonstrations. You can read more about Carrie Leonard  in the latest SouthPark Magazine – October issue ~ Here are some more photos from our fun afternoon in Carrie’s kitchen!
