Wow, I would love to have this for lunch. How delish!
It was delicious even though it was a bit cold by the time we got to eat it after the photographing. Noodles don’t hold their heat very long, I have found.

Looks terrific! I have one of those mini food processors (in addition to a big one) that’s perfect for small amounts like this. I used to try doing things like this in the blender, but as you found, it’s really frustrating! Good stuff – thanks.
I have already started checking out the mini food processors online but so many have bad reviews that I am confused. Any suggestions?
Suzanne
Just get a cheap electric food chopper at walmart. $15 at most. They’re great.
Wow suzanne, I think your shots are amazing. I feel like it’s actually right in front of me. Three cheers for suzanne for her efforts, because I so know taking an awesome shot, like tis ones, take time, effort and lots of clicks 🙂
I don’t have a mini processor also, guess i’ll have to buy one too. :s
Thanks so much. My problem is the lack of time I have to take the photos or the food gets cold, which sometimes does happen if I can’t get the right shots. I love the weekend baking because I have all the time in the world and it feels like a luxury.

This looks amazing! I will be adding this to next weeks menu.
It was a great meal as are all his recipes. He has a special knack for cooking, that’s for sure.

It’s supposed to be eaten warm or cold – it’s a salad.
Up to you.

Serve it with the meal.
