On Vacation (from the archives)

Gentle readers: Your loyal blogger is going on August recess for the next couple of weeks, so in the meantime please enjoy some of my early ventures into the realm of food photography. These are all pictures from my study abroad term in 2002; back then I thought of it as a travelogue, but in new places, the food (if it's interesting) so quickly becomes an important part of the overall experience...

Fresh seafood at an open-air market in Aix-en-Provence

I believe these are scallops, also known as coquilles St-Jacques

Fresh tunas await their fate

Marzipan fruits (also in Provence)

Window display of Easter chocolates in Paris

Restaurant-made crepe, in Paris

Learning how to make crepes at home

A large bowl made of bread (in Rome)

My friend and fellow gastronome Vanessa longing after Spanish sweets (Toledo)

Consuming churros con chocolate for breakfast (in Seville, I think)

French pastries! (Paris)

Closeup on those same beautiful pastries.

Can you believe there's a shop like this in every neighborhood in Paris?
