Before The Moms’ Guide to Meal Makeovers was released, we were photographed for the back of the book and our website. Almost five years later, in desperate need of updated photos, we hired photographer extraordinaire David Shopper. Our directive to David was to photograph us in the kitchen doing what we do best: slicing, dicing, and cooking up a storm.Though we have not yet seen the final photographs, our hope is that he’s able to touch us up a bit to lessen the bags under Janice’s eyes, our wrinkles, and Liz’s grey roots. Having make-up artist Jeri La Shay on the “set” came in handy too.
You’ll be able to see the final photos when we unveil our new website in the next month or so. As you can see from the amateur photos we took with David, Jeri, and Janice’s daughters, by the end of the day we were all a little bit loopy.

How exciting. Although I do have to admit that I enjoyed seeing what cookbooks that great chefs keep. Hopefully those aren't just 'props'. Nice to know that we should all have a 'How To Cook Everything' cookbook in kitchens.
Makes me feel a lot better now. :)
Hi Ann:
Okay ... we need to come clean! The kitchen we used for our photo shoot belongs to friends of Janice -- and as you can see from their collection of cookbooks, they are big-time foodies. Though we both like Mark Bittman and his How to Cook Everything book, we each have a few of our own favorites. Janice's mom gave her The Joy of Cooking for a wedding gift and it's her go-to cookbook whenever she needs to check how long to cook a roast or how to cook a lobster. She loves the recipe ideas in Eating Well Magazine. As for Liz, she's a fan of The Silver Palate and The New Basics cookbooks by Julee Rosso & Sheila Lukins, and makes their brisket of beef (page 494 in New Basics) all the time. What are your favorite cookbooks and food magazines?
