The premise for Waitrose magazine’s Gamechanger feature - one ingredient can make a huge difference to a dish; a punch of flavour, a simple bold snack, or a kitchen time saver. My regular series of candid portraits with food writers and their game changing ingredients has been a staple part of Waitrose magazine’s re-designed look.
The brief: to shoot the process of each recipe, combining loose, unstaged portraits with busy, playful food.
Food writer Mellissa Thompson on Tamarind Paste: ‘Few others do as much heavy lifting, bringing both sweetness and tartness. And it does so with a texture that adds substance to stews, and glossiness and viscosity to a glaze. It’s a true all-rounder.’
