Cover-Worthy

Upon spying the November/December issue of VegNews, I couldn’t help but beam when I saw my photos on the cover! Yes, they are rather miniscule, but they’re still front and center all the same, and such a place of honor should mean a whole lot to any budding photographer.

Some of my favorite shots from this issue include…
The surprisingly savory Dill Waffles with Beet Compote, by chef Jesse Miner, whom I finally had the pleasure of meeting a few months back. Let me tell you, this nontraditional breakfast or brunch offering will really cause a stir with early morning guests- I couldn’t stop eating them! Though I typically make big batches of waffles in advance and freeze them for later, these babies barely had a chance to even cool down before they were all devoured.
Gena Hamshaw brings the raw goodies as per usual, this time in the form of crunchy Almond Crackers and a very unique Orange Carrot Dip. The best part about this recipe is that it’s all-inclusive, providing an alternate low-temperature baking method in addition to the standard dehydrator approach. Both easy and elegant, they make for an excellent appetizer before a festive meal, or just a satisfying snack to tide you over on a busy day.
The real show-stopper recipe for this round was the Lasagna by Allison Samson, hands down. Layers of rich, homemade vegan ricotta and Parmesan, smothered with lovingly slow-simmered tomato sauce and all assembled in a towering noodle construction, it was a sight to behold. Though lasagna is one of my photo styling nemeses due to its often messy, unruly nature, this was a dream to capture, slicing beautifully, and showing off each layer with pride. This is the sort of recipe that would make anyone thrilled to eat lasagna instead of a grand roast on Christmas, even.
And that’s not the end of it, but before I go ahead and post the photos for the entire magazine, you’ll just have to check out a copy to see the rest. Don’t miss the holiday candy feature in particular! Though the photos came out looking fairly simple, it was quite a journey to get there. A highly worthwhile effort, I’d say!

Beautiful photography as always! That lasagna looks delicious..how lucky you are to be able to enjoy the yummy food too :)

Those photos are beautiful! Quick question on the crackers — are they wheat/gluten free? I have a friend with a bizarre collection of allergies (wheat, gluten, cow dairy and chicken) so I’m always on the lookout for tasty things to tempt her!
Comment by dea_mariella@gmx.com— November 2, 2011 #
Yes, these crackers are gluten free! I deleted the recipe out of respect for not distributing unpublished content, but if I remember correctly, they’re sunflower seed-based.
Comment by Hannah (BitterSweet)— November 3, 2011 #
Hello from the chef! They are indeed GF. And wheat and soy free.

I love seeing your photos all over VegNews now! I think that photo scandal turned out to be a good thing for them in the long-run, your photos are so gorgeous they elevate the classiness of the magazine. I’m so excited that you are doing Dreena’s next cookbook too!!
Comment by Rebekah— November 16, 2011 #
I have been elbow deep in chocolate-land, so am just now seeing this. Wow, what a spectacular photo of my lasagna, Hannah! You are truly a gifted inspiration. Thank you for all your beautiful work and amazing contributions to the deliciousness of vegan living.
Comment by Allison Rivers Samson— November 28, 2011 #
No need to thank me, truly! It was a treat to get to try your amazing lasagna, since it’s more complicated than something I would ordinarily try without a special occasion. Easily one of the best I’ve ever had, dairy-based or not.
