food porn fight: recap of the weekend

although the fight slowed down over the weekend, there was no shortage of delectable food porn added to the contest.  rasa malaysia spiced up the competition with her pan-fried fresh water prawns and her favorite persian food.  i was excited to discover several new food blogs, many with an asian focus.  wandering chopsticks' blood orange granita looked divine (not to mention seasonal) and thip (who also lives in sf!) of thai4real gave us a taste of some thai-style curry over farro (my grain of the moment).  and you defintely can't have a food porn fight without the queen of food porn, jaden of steamy kitchen, who gave us a taste of her vietnamese pulled pork "sliders" with hoisin bbq sauce over the weekend.

cake on the brain offered us some sweets with her coconut vanilla bean rice pudding brulee.  the bitten word is definitely putting his food magazines to use with these homemade sliders inspired by the little owl in new york city.  oh carol, for the love of cupcakes, can you please send me one of your coconut and white chocolate baby mudcakes?  if you haven't eaten yet, lina of eat yet? can help you out with some of her delicious photos.  sip snap savor wins the award for the most artistic photos with this army of grape tomatoes attacking a flood of yellow curry.  heather of gild the voodoolily offers us a juicy breakfast burger.  i'm ready to get baking with get baked's chewy chocolate nut bar or almond corner's fuzzy morello cherry cake.  melissa bernais of itsa monkey spotted a mango for us.  and last but not least, one of my favorite readers and the man behind closet cooking kevin lynch flipped up some hearty banana buttermilk pancakes so we can start the morning right.

the fighting and salivation continues through friday, march 21st!  remember to upload your photo by then at http://foodfight.thepetitepig.com

food porn fight: recap of day 1

we're at end of round 1 of the food porn fight, and the fight is off to a pretty good start with twenty delicious photos slung in the first twenty four hours.  some highlights to recap:

amanda of slow like honey threw a sweet first punch with her photo of rich bittersweet chocolate cake with a dark and smooth chocolate ganache.

nags knocked out us out with eight decadent photos, a few featuring some beautiful southern indian dishes.  the most interesting had to be curd rice with pomegranates served with chow chow sambhar.  i hope she tells us a little more about this dish.

rasa malaysia of the famed blog of the same name baked up some banana bread for our food fight.  i hope she'll point us to the recipe?   

and then there were my friends marlo and mandy who shot some ethnic twists with marzipan sushi cakes and a german american pie.

but the strongest punch goes out to my fellow dc foodie food rockz man with his roasted bone marrow.  i'm ready to put him on a plane out to sf to make me some of that meat crack.  mmmm.

others great food bloggers who also joined in on round 1 were:dan & joy of gourmetednina's kitchenfood makes me happycoconut & limebring it on for round 2.  you have until friday, march 21st to show us what you're made of.

the year of food porn: the petite pig's 2008 food porn contest

i'm not really one to make new year's resolutions, but i did declare 2008 to be the year of food porn. last june, i finally acquired a digital slr and have been playing food photographer since. with the start of tastespotting last year, i know that hundreds of other food bloggers have been doing the same. i thought it would be great to reward the great art that's been going on in the kitchen of so many, so i'm announcing the petite pig's 2008 food porn contest. mid this week, the contest will be going live at a url to be named. there are just two rules: 1) submit only a photo taken by you; and 2) submit it only once. anyone out there with a camera and some food to photograph can submit, and you'll have till march friday, march 21st to share your food porn with the rest of the world wide web. all the photos submitted will then be compiled in a gallery for voting. the public will have from monday, march 24th to friday, march 28th to vote for the most delicious photo. the photo with the most votes gets a check for 200 bucks from yours truly. simple as that.

so get shooting.
