Giveaway: Plate to Pixel Book

One of my very good friends, Helene Dujardin of Tartelette, just came out with her first book called Plate to Pixel!

If you love taking photos of food (like all of us food & recipe bloggers!) this book is an absolute treasure of advice. Helene will show you all the tricks of the trade on food styling and food photography for us non-professionals! You’ll see lots of before/after shots, learn about lighting (natural and artificial) and what tools she uses for photo editing and processing.
