I have written and erased the first sentence of this post fifty times it seems.It makes me smile a little considering the number of sentences I started and erased fifty times more since last November. The best one I could think about today was "Thank you".
I have thought a few times about this week. Right here. Right now. The week when my first book, "Plate To Pixel. Digital Food Photography & Styling" is out into the world. From November to March, it was the hard work of a team that did not stop until it was right. This week the book is yours. Ours.
Wow... it still is just barely sinking in. Once the book in my hands, it took a full 24 hours for my shoulders to relax and a smile to timidly cross my lips. Then as I was standing there in the rain with Bailey, that smile grew to a stupidly wide expression of gratitude and excitement.
I bolted back inside to Taylor who was getting his video equipment together and said "let's do this! Let's show people how awesome food photography can be with a little help from a friend!"
And so we shot this video promo of "Plate To Pixel. Digital Food Photography & Styling". Words fall short to tell Taylor what an amazing job he did on it. Thank you dear friend!
I come from a family of crafters. My dad is a published author and a painter. My mom designs frames for other people's art. My brother Arnaud is constantly building and crafting objects and toys. My brother Thierry was a talented photographer. Writing this book feels a bit like my way of contributing to the family DNA!!
I loved working on this book so much! I wrote it with you in mind. And you is a lot of people with different likes and dislikes, different ways to go about life. But we all have the same goal. Take pictures of food and have a wonderful experience doing it.
Whether you need just a little push, a lot of help or just reinforcement that you are on the right track. I compiled information, hands-on visuals of bouncing, diffusing, white balances, exposures, depth of field, ... Composition and styling techniques, equipment setup so you can see the full how-tos of a picture, step by step styling demos...and the list goes on!
I will be doing fun giveaways in the coming weeks to express my thanks for your support and kind words these past few months and your enthusiasm these past few days.
But today is especially awesome to celebrate the release of the book. There won't be one lucky person but three!
- I am giving away 2 signed copies of Plate To Pixel and a little surprise inside...
- my super talented friend Asya from gleena.com who is the artist behind the numbered ceramic plates I love to use here, is giving away four white ceramic dessert plates numbered 1 through 4 (like the ones in the picture below)
All you have to do is leave a comment here between today, April 26th 2011 and Friday April 29th 2011, midnight Eastern time.
Guidelines: one entry per person, no anonymous comment, leave 24hrs for your name to appear in giveaway as I manually moderate entries.
Note: Plate to Pixel is currently available online on Amazon (US, UK, Germany, etc...), Wiley, Book Depository, Barnes & Noble, Borders. It will be in stores in about 10 days or so!
Now...how about some Double Trouble Chocolate Cake to really celebrate?!!

Double Trouble Chocolate Cake:
Serves 10-12
For the cake:
1 stick (113gr) butter
1 cup (200gr) sugar
1/2 cup (45gr) natural cocoa powder
2 eggs
1/2 cup superfine rice flour
1/2 cup millet flour
1/2 cup gluten free oat flour
1 teaspoon (5gr) baking powder
1 teaspoon (5gr) instant coffee powder
1/2 teaspoon (2.5gr) baking soda
1 cup (250ml) warm water
Note: for a non gluten free version, you can use 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour instead of the rice, millet and oat flours.
For the ganache:
12 oz bittersweet chocolate (chips or chopped)
pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Prepare the cake:
Preheat oven to 325F. Butter one deep 9-inch round baking pans, sprinkle some rice flour into the pans, shake it around and tap the excess off. Line the bottoms with one 9-inch circle of parchment paper. Set aside.
In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter and sugar until light and creamy. On low speed, add the cocoa and mix until incorporated. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape the bowl with a spatula to make sure they are properly mixed in. Add the flours, baking powder, coffee powder and baking soda and mix on medium-low speed while slowly adding the warm water and mix until smooth. Pour the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool to room temperature and unmold the cake. Divide in three horizontally.
Prepare the chocolate ganache:
Place the chocolate and salt in a non reactive bowl and set aside. In a heavy bottom saucepan set over high heat, bring the cream to almost boiling (really hot basically!). When hot, pour it over the chocolate and salt. Let stand for 5 minutes before slowly whisking the mixture to bring it together to a smooth and silky ganache. If it's not completely smooth, return to very low heat for a few seconds to melt the chocolate some more. Brands vary so this step may be necessary if the chocolate is not completely melted.
To assemble the cake:
Let stand the ganache about 15-20 minutes so it is thick enough to apply between the layers of chocolate cake. Leave about 1 to 1.5 cups for the top and sides and set and slightly warm it up a bit so it spreads more easily.

Many congratulations on your wonderful book! It must be such a proud moment for you. :) Ever since I've found you online all I can think of every time I visit your blog is "I wanna be just like that when I grow up.." although I am already grown up .. :). Now, with this book...I am so eager to get it that I can't even tell you. I hope it will be on Bookdepository as well since that's where I can easily buy international books. I don't know if your giveaway is open internationally, so I don't dare dream that I could win this...I just wanted to congratulate you and tell you that I am extremely glad the book will finally be available!:)

I am so excited to receive your book this week! The idea of becoming a food photographer had crossed my mind but when I was looking for the 'how to' there was so much information out there, I was overwhelmed. My friend Jackie Basia posted the link to your book on her facebook and I didn't hesitate to head over to Amazon for a copy. I know I won't be disappointed and am looking forward to actually getting started photographing food. Merci beaucoup Helene!
I can 'hear' how happy you are, and it's well deserved :)
I have been waiting for your book for ages, and am so excited that it is finally out! Congratulations!

Congratulations on your book! I really loved the video.
Congratulations again!
This is a wonderful video - truly lovely.
As I've already ordered your book I wouldn't want to deny anyone that gift - but the plates are gorgeous!
Helene, I've been reading your blog for a long time. I felt an almost personal pride reading this post and great excitement about the book. (Ordered!) As a writer and former pastry chef I've followed with admiration how you've combined your interests and skills so artfully. I was never that drawn to food photography--it always seemed too slick and fancy--until I discovered different aesthetics and voices like yours, which speaks especially to my love of rustic, nature-inspired pastry. Your work so gracefully evokes the sweetness, and sometimes the sadness, of making and sharing food. Thank you for your inspiration, and heartfelt congratulations.
Congratulations on your book! Those plates are absolutely precious and that cake looks incredibly decadent :) I hope one day to be as talented and have a book published as well, but for now I'll just blog :)
Helene! Congratulations! Your book looks amazing! and that video is beautiful!
So happy for you!
Congratulations! :)
I love your site! Your photos are always beautiful, and I love to share them, and your site, with friends - especially since a couple of them are allergic to gluten!
Stunning! I check daily to see if you've posted and I'm always thrilled when you have. Will your book be available here in the UK? Hope so.
Congratulations on your book! I'd be thrilled to receive a signed copy of it or the beautiful plates.
I look forward to reading many more wonderful posts in the future. Again, congratulations!
Big Congrats! I just pre-ordered your book yesterday and I can´t wait to hold it in my hands!
I'm really looking forward to your book being available and learning some new tips and tricks. Congrats on being able to hold the finished product in your hands!
I love your blog, and your photography. I can't wait to see a copy of your book.
Am an amateur when it comes to photography for my blog....would love to read your book
Congrats! I'm very excited to get my hands on your book! You always have such stunning photographs!
I love to bake and I love photography yet I have not been able to merge the two (a lot of blurry cupcake photos posted to Facebook intended to make family and friends drool, but elicit more of a huh? response) so I cannot wait for your book. I also plan a trip into the world of macarons (I am so scared). Thank you
Helene, I am in awe of all that you do and do so well. Toutes mes félicitations!
Congratulations Helene! I love your blog so much and your photography even more. I'm getting your book!!
Good luck with everything!
Ganache is the best addition to cake. Better than buttercream every time.
Congrats, well deserved. Your passion is contagious. I'd love to spend an afternoon in your world. I adore your accent too, lovely work! Suzanne W.
Congratulations, Helene! It's all fabulous: your book, the cake, everything. I cannot wait to study your book religiously! Thank you for inspiring me daily. xo

I'm so excited!!! I have been waiting for this book since you announced it! Your little video is brilliant and beautiful and I love what you said at the end about how we all see and do things differently and the book isn't about changing that. I'm dying to produce the shots that makes the viewer hungry, just like yours do for me.
congratulations and super yum! those plates are freaking awesome.
Wonderful video! As a budding photographer, it was an honor to learn from you in person. Now, I can't wait to have your words and pictures in a lovely book! God bless, and congratulations. :-)

Thank You!
Would love that book...
Congratulations! this is very exciting :) i cannot wait to get my hands on a copy soon!
Your book sounds like a labor of love, congratulations! And this cake, wow!
Oh wow! Congratulations, it is hard to believe that the time has arrived. I am looking forward to delving in, whether I win or support you by purchasing one.
I have just convinced myself to commit to a DSLR, as film is becoming harder and harder for me to find and process, it would be great to brush up on my skills at the same time as I learn what life is like with my first SLR younger than me!
Congrats ! Even if the book is in English, I'll buy it because it seems to be soooo great !! (like this chocolate cake)
Congratulations! Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
Congrats! I can't wait to see the book!
