Ooohs and aaahs were heard as she demonstrated tips, tricks and techniques on how to dress up food for editorials and commercials. Little did I know that 80% of the time, the food on camera isn't edible at all. For instance, this succulent looking Roasted Chicken was stuffed with aluminum foil to plump it up, "choreographed" with T-pins (ones thats used to hold wigs), fisherman's twine and super glue, baked for 10 minutes only and brushed with "browning solution" (the secret formula that I know) which has dishwashing liquid, to make it look golden brown. Add a little garnish and voila! its ready for its close up. So next time you see chicken on ads..... make up lang yan!
And if you need a certified food stylist, call me. Hehehe!
P.S. Shown on the other photo are the tools of the trade.
