Calm Before The Storm

Hi Bloggers, just for fun we’re posting shots from our mid-week site visit (and menu tasting, mmmmmmmm).  It’s warm, dry, quiet at camp – until YOU arrive!  See you May 14!

Your Friends at Camp Blogaway

Presenter’s New Book Just in Time for Camp

 

We are thrilled to announce the publication of Denise Vivaldo’s newest book, The Food Stylist’s Handbook, which will be featured during her presentation at Camp, “Food Styling Tips and Tricks for Bloggers.”  Vivaldo is one of the country’s most prolific food stylists, traveling nationally (and often internationally) to handle styling jobs and/or give presentations on styling food for film or still photography.

The handbook is a full 256 pages of professional insights into the artistic, creative and magical work of food stylists.  This is Vivaldo’s sixth book.  More is available on www.denisevivaldo.com and her blog www.foodfanaticsunwashed.com

Golden Pinecone Award

And (drumroll…) the coveted GOLDEN PINECONE AWARD – an honor bestowed on the camper who “epitomizes the essense of the Camp Blogaway spirit.” Judged by our staff, one outstanding camper will earn this unprecedented honor PLUS the prize of a generous pile of cookbooks from the Lisa Ekus Group (uber culinary talent agency), shipped directly to the honoree’s home.
