My family owns a local Italian resturant that's been there for 36 years, even tho I am younger and lots of the staff working are as well it's always a struggle to advertise in the right way especially with social media. this was a lifesaver and hopefully will improve or advertising thank you so much xx

I traveled in China for a few months and I miss the food so much.. it’s great to find vegan recipes that are authentic and traditional!!! Keep it going!
Can you make a video showing the basics like what brand of soy sauce, vinegar etc. you use?

great information for photography setup, especially the lighting and backdrop super helpful. Just so you know I proceeded to purchase through your links and all of the amazon links would not deliver to my region/ Australia.

[@DanielRomero-wt7cs]

thank you so much

[@chocolatestudent9650]

"Photography can get expensive... real, real fast" ... same goes with making pastries.... I have expensive hobbies...with a limited budget.

[@davidhanlon9325]

Thank you

[@b_genny]

You didn't talk about the thing you mount your camera for overhead? Pls mention

[@genocideist]

Hi ya sis, what the good size for backdrop for starting a food photography? I'm barely starting but printed backdrop has let me down, it was looked really fake, maybe because my printed backdrop quality was really poor.

[@lukesims1]

How is your camera mounted to the boom?

[@canadianvegan94]

Could u do a video on doing videos too?

[@user-yv2rs4ie8r]

This is amazing! Just curious why you kept referring to things in USD while you're based in London... I'm in suburb of London too so we English subscribers do watch you.

[@masafilmaktiv]

[@WeiK0]

great～

[@anna_retouch]

what kind of paint can i use for plywood? please somebody help! :-) I need some kind of paint that is not going to smell across the whole apartment building and I am not going to be evicted haha

[@naeclarke15]

Is food photography somewhat time consuming?

[@robg3688]

Affinity vs final cut?

[@AceHardy]

📸🎬🎥

[@oyeboynat9945]

what lense you using for food photography>??

[@victorgarcia7411]

@@EastMeetsKitchen
What camera do you use?

[@aboutbusinessknowledge5675]

Thank you for this very helpful video. However, I wish you had spent more time talking/showing us how to use AFFINITY instead of Adobe since that's what you recomended. All the same thank you for making this very detailed video.

[@duncanmit5307]

💜👍💜👍💜👍

[@hlobend2111]

Is lightroom a branch of Adobe. will a revolving door of costs or is it yours when you purchase it? I would like to purchase a editing program that is outright mine as in a one time purchase. Any suggestions. Thanks.

[@TheTrueWarlic]

If i make a video could you give me some feedback? I'm kind of nebulously anxious about it... So far I haven't done any real life videos on my channel. I think I'd like to break into youtube, but I need so many hours watched before adsense will contact me.

[@ianedwards241]

Most of what she says is basic and common sense, but still a good video.

[@BertTotzke]

thank you East Meets Kitchen for all of that valuable info

[@FreezeFlavors]

Great tips, thank you.
