Seattle Foodie Podcast

On the 105th episode of the Seattle Foodie Podcast, we sit down with professional studio food photographer and recipe developer, Shiela Cruz (@flavourfilled). Shiela's food photography wows us all with her storytelling and "mood" photography style seen in many food magazines and prints. She is one of the best at what she does in the Seattle area and we had the opportunity to talk to her about her photography style, tips for how you can create your own home studio yourself, and how she got into recipe development. For all you food photographers, you want to tune in to this one!

In addition, Monica and Nelson recap the week starting with Washington Cider Week presented by the NW Cider Association currently occurring through September 20th. They each received cider from Republic of Cider in the Industrial District and Snack Packs from BB6 Taiwanese Pop Up. During the week, Juliana Bakery also delivered them each artisanal cookies and pastries.

As for what they ate this week, Nelson had a sneak preview of the Charlotte Restaurant located inside the Lotte Hotel set to open on September 24th. Meanwhile, Monica took the week off from work and visited multiple locations. She checked out the Fremont Sunday Market, went on a food crawl in the U-District visiting Ba Bar, Rachel's Ginger Beer, BB.Q Chicken, and Yifang. She also stopped by the Sugar + Spoon Cookie Dough truck for a DIY Pack and picked up tamales from Frelard Tamales. Finally, she capped off the week with a grocery delivery from MilkRun.

Thank you so much for listening and we hope you enjoy the latest episode of the Seattle Foodie Podcast.
