CALL for ENTRIES: Root

Posted on December 19, 2016December 19, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

digging DEEP

It is root vegetable season again. It isn’t all just potatoes and carrots. Root veggies are one of my only opportunities to have fresh food all the way through the winter. I’ve been preaching about turnip roots for years; try them as a substitute, if only in part, for mashed potatoes. Or celeriac is delicious. Rutabagas are divine, albeit stinky. How about kohlrabi? It isn’t actually a root vegetable, but it holds just as long in cool dry temps. They are like savory comfort foods, minus the warm cheese. This next Call invites you to delve into YOUR roots. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from L.A. Photo Curator for the Root exhibit. $20 entry, no shipping, plus art publication for ALL entrants & an opportunity to support a great cause WITHOUT donating work. Great opportunity…

“My research has led me to find that the word, ‘root’ has ties to mathematics, music, machinery and computers to list only a few. Without giving too many clues, I’d like you to delve deeper into the meaning of this word for you and illustrate this word through your photography. It could be related to a source, the origin of a thing or being, a foundation, an anchor and lots more. Have fun and let your mind explore.” –from Susan Spiritus via laphotocurator.com

cutting THE FAT

I dropped out of culinary school half way through. It occurred to me as I was practicing a particularly complicated knife skill one Friday night that I didn’t want to live and work and eat all in the same place. My attention span is too short to have stuck with it. The irony that my life now revolves around food in many ways isn’t lost on me. This next Call offers you an opportunity to have it all, have it in one place, and have it FREE. Not kidding…

There IS scientific data to back up the validity of some effects of so-called aphrodisiacs, but some are a real stretch. We all know about the standards, oysters & coffee & chili peppers, but my favorites remain figs & honey.

I have kept my word. I am taking fewer pictures of my food in public. You would be proud. I am amazed at how often I’ve finished a dish before it occurred to me “I should have photographed that”.

This next Call wants to know how social media has influenced YOUR work. Take a look…

I had to throw out everything in my fridge & freezer Sunday. Due to the wildfire, my house was without power for a week. My groceries stewed. It wasn’t pretty.

color me STUFFED

The Thanksgiving sea of brown food has passed. Luckily, my family forgoes the turkey, dressing, gravy & rolls thereby missing out on a good portion of the brownness of it all. I crave color even in my food. A star of this year’s menu was the beet & clementine salad. Beets are plentiful year around due to how well they do in cold storage. If you are one of those folks that swear they dislike beets, make a point to try them fresh roasted. (Message me for a recipe.) In the meantime, here’s a call that also craves color. Take a look…

fast FARE

The freezer saves dinner about two days a week in my house. We purposefully cook more portions than we can eat and save the leftovers. It started out as a way to send lunch with my kiddo for school, but it has become a dinner rescue regularly. When you get busy and have forgotten to plan for dinner and live nearly a half hour from the closest grocery or restaurant, you’re grateful for frozen leftovers. This next Call is not a leftover or frozen, but I did neglect to plan the publication more than a few days out from the deadline. Sorry about that…

seaside FARE

I grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, one of the premiere food towns in the U.S. We were always proud of both the seafood & the fried chicken in the Holy City. And while Charleston-ians still have every reason to be proud of the fresh sea fare & deep-fried poultry, the food scene has developed as a shining example of the best of ALL things edible –French, Cajun, Greek & most other imaginable cuisines. The South isn’t just Southern, just like the jurors of this next Call. Investigate this one…
