I met up with Head chef Mark Sycamore and Demi Chef de Partie Joseph Clark at Blanket bay lodge to shoot images for an article in Elements. It was nice to be back at Blanket Bay again after spending many hours there working on Jason Dells food book Savvy last year.
After shooting Celebrity Chefs Jason dells food book Savvy last year we became good friends and he and his family all stayed over the weekend and we talked about all the new exciting projects that we have on the go… Jason is moving to Singapore to start up a very nice looking super modern restaurant. I am looking forward to get over there when its all up and running.
Another great day shooting with Jason Dell, celebrity chef from Blanket Bay lodge. Jason was preparing food from his foodbook Savvy at Mt Difficulty for The Central Otago Pinot Noir Festival.
Seresin’s is owned by famous movie director Michael Seresin’s and on top of having the beautiful winery he also have a small timber cabin nestled amongst native bush overlooking Waterfall Bay in the Marlborough Sounds and every year he invites top chefs to cook for a selected few guest.
This year Jason Dell was invited to cook. Jason also did a presentation of his book and I was there to cover the whole thing. An amazing evening took place and it’s hard to find a better setting.
I flew up with Jason Dell to Seresins to shoot a book launch and a dinner and had a great time and this vineyard. It’s amazing to listen and see how they work and make the wines at Seresins. The building is great and I got some nice morning shots.
