Introducing Zenspotting

Posted on Tuesday, January 10, 2012

 

Does the world really need another food gallery site? The answer is YES! of course.

If you’re a regular visitor of this site you probably noticed a little icon on the top left corner that says “Check Out Zenspotting”. I decided to create Zenspotting because I thought it would be fun to have a space for chefs and adventurous cooks, where they could publish or view photos linking to interesting recipes. The selection is of course purely subjective. I appreciate everybody’s efforts in their kitchens, but my focus is on recipes with an edge, visual appeal and the ones that makes you want to say: cool!

Sign up, submit or simply go and take a look! I appreciate your support.

    I like this idea better than Tastespotting….since they never pick me!  ha!

    I’ve always been a fan of your images…hope to be able to come up with one that I think is worthy of Zenspotting.

    It’ll probably be tougher to get on here than Tastespotting, just saying. 😉

    I don’t think I can handle rejections. Maybe you pick what you think is hardcore enough from me and submit? 😀

    Wow, what a great idea!  I’ve only been reading you for a couple of months, but I love your visual style and your approach to recipes (some of your flavor combinations blow me away).  It will be really interesting to see which recipes you select for this. Looking forward to a lot of fun – thanks for taking the time to do this!

    Great idea! These are exactly the kind of photos and recipes I’m looking for when browsing sites like Foodgawker.

  • weareneverfull.com

    holy crap, zen.  i wish i had the balls to do this years ago.  honestly, i think the other 2 photo sites are lacking in alot of ways – mainly the fact that they really only care about the photo and not what is IN the photo.  if i see another powder-sugar topped dessert in a pic again, i may barf.  i’m heading to zenspotting now.  look for uploads from us – and i’ll look to be turned down here and there… lol!  excellent idea.

    Love it :)

    Loving the idea. I think I agree with one of reader comment that other sites only focus on photography. Hopefully here people not only find a beautiful photographs, but most importantly delicious recipes. Good luck!

  • Anthony huynh

    I stumbled across your website by pure chance. All I can say is incredible, such beautiful and stunning photography. Your recipes are so lip-smackingly good that I want to lick it off my screen.
