Here is a cookbook, designed for "culinary challenged" as well as the typical cook. When we began creating recipes for CincyShopper, we found that people like the recipes and love the pictures. We got lots of feedback about how the pictures let them know what it should look like. I didn't realize exactly what they were telling me until I had one reader point to an example from another site, which had gone poorly for her. Upon looking at the recipe and the picture, the problem was obvious. The beautiful picture was not made from the ingredients they had listed. It was probably a stock picture they had bought because they lacked photography skills, but this poor reader had spent a lot of time and frustration trying to achieve this unattainable image of the dish.
After a while, we began selling versions of the recipes to other websites to share with their readers. We looked at it as a way to make a little extra income while helping readers of other blogs avoid having their cooking adventures go horribly wrong. We make and tweak each recipe to get the taste just right. Then, we photograph it to show you how it should look. No surprises. No stock photos.
Here is a selection of some of my favorite tastes of summer to help inspire you to make the most of the outdoor season. From frozen treats to DIY “Fair Food”, I hope these recipes can help to enjoy my favorite time of year.
