Roasted Asparagus and Roma Tomatoes are one of our favourite vegetarian dishes. Our resident tomcat, however, was not impressed as he is strictly a caranvourour, hence the rather disappointed expression. He's not into garlic either but he did condescend to lick a bit of melted butter off my finger.

Looks very tasty! Frequently roast asparagus, but never tried the tomato. Future ref!

Just wondering if there is any interest in these sections on cookware, tableware, pots and pans, dishes and flatware etc. Not only as, obviously, cooking tools and serving plates but as photographic (photogenic) props.

We have lots of regular dishes and pots at home but I am always haunting second-hand shops looking for old stuff for my food shots at the studio.

Over the years we have accumulated a collection of CORNINGWARE. There is new Corning stuff on the market but the old versions are better and more diverse. I haven't seen any of the unique older models and patterns in the retail stores. In the second-hand and charity shops, I have found big roasting pans, lasagna pans, microwave browning plates, all kinds of strange shapes like the one in this shot, and well-made chrome racks for servig. Many came with the Pyrex lids. The good thing is, they are easy to clean up, even after a sticky baking or roasting project.

Problem is, my wife is a kitchen neatnik and is beginning to worry about some of the "artifacts" I drag into the kitchen like old-crusty and rusty iron skillets and that mint-condition crank-operated meat grinder from the 1940s and that rolling pin that looks more like a Lousiville Slugger! Some day they will all end up on a creative food shot! Or the recycling bin!

These kinds of things are certainly of interest - in case you missed it. https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-696346-1.html

I've been running around like a headless chicken- lots of construction progress assignments to shoot- I didn't get a chance to read into your introduction! Good job! I'll post more foodie shots when I have some time off!

Thanks!

Great presentation. I love my roasted asparagus with a good balsamic glaze
