If you are a connoisseur of a good veggie burger as I am, then you know a burger mix is not always the most food photogenic thing one ever did see. I recently got Chloe Coscarelli’s Chloe’s Kitchen from my local public library and was immediately intrigued by her double double drive thru burgers. I like tempeh and I like lentils, so I decided to give it a whirl.
This is a super easy burger recipe to put together, but does require a food processor. You basically mix all the ingredients in the processor until it comes together into a mix that can be formed into patties and pan fried. Simple! But that burger mix turns a light shade of gray-brown and looks like a pile of mush when it comes time to document it for the blog.
This photo needs help!
Photograph that Rubbermaid container on a slab of wood! Remember, wood is good! If you have a rustic wooden background, it will completely complement that burger patty mix. Look at it pop! The juxtaposition is striking. Try it with your awkward food photos!
Dear Greige, why must you taste so good, yet remind us of a restaurant grease trap. I just can’t quit you Greige!
Ooh these sound good! I don’t have any of Chloe’s books, but all the recipes I’ve made of hers are amazing.
Stunning food photography panda, you make the burger look, um, kinda appetising!
Chloe is the best! How did you go with the burger? Or did you give in to temptation and eat this straight from the container?
I made thin patties and pan fried them. Next time I’d add more seasoning, but they were good.
Just stunning, I love the contrast that comes from the tupperware against the wood.
