This Giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Christiane, The Mom Chef – Taking on Magazines One Recipe at a Time, the winner of this fantastic book!
Two weeks ago I picked up a copy of the book, Plate to Pixel: Digital Food Photography & Styling, by the very talented Helene Dujardin.
After I received the book and realized that this was actually The Bible of Food Photography, I picked up another copy just in case I lose the first one.
Okay, so, no, that’s not why I bought a second copy. I picked up one more copy so that I can give one to YOU!
I know how important food photography is in this wonderful world of food blogging, and that is why I want to share this book with the rest. And because I love you and appreciate you for all the support you have given me over the past 150 posts!! I know it’s the 100th post that you’re supposed to celebrate, but I didn’t notice my number of posts until it reached 118. 🙂
I am sure that you will enjoy this book just as much as I do. It is filled with the answers that many of us are seeking about photography; composition, styling, editing, lighting, etc… you will love learning from it! And you don’t have to be a food blogger to appreciate it – anyone that is remotely interested in photography will benefit greatly from this book.

I really need to improve my blog pics. Thanks for the giveaway!
Great blog! And you only have to look at my blog to see that I am photographically challenged. It is frustrating to make something special and delicious and then not be able to capture its beauty for others- this book would certainly be a help!
Stumbled too

I just commented on a promo for this book on fb. I know I need this book, but I keep telling myself I don’t want it because I don’t want my pictures to look like everyone elses…but really it’s because I’m worried I’ll try it, think I’m amazing and foodgawker will STILL reject my photos. 🙂 I hate rejection….foodblogging is like high school all over again.
awesome giveaway, kate! thanks for the chance to win… i’d love to read all about Helene’s food photography tips and tricks.
I tweeted, facebooked and I stumbeled. Whew, I’m tired now 🙂 Do I get extra points for being a previous liker, follower, subscriber? 😉 What if I told you how pretty you are? Too much? This is getting weird…..
lovely giveaway already following you on facebook
Love u n bunches Kate and I’m a facebook fan. I want to win this book in hopes that I’ll learn how to make better use of the camera that I have. And so I can drool over the pictures!

And I follow you on Twitter 🙂
I “like” you on Facebook…
I have met quite a few bloggers that have stood out to me since I started my blog last fall, and you are one of them. I love to read your posts and I especially appreciate all your fabulous comments on my blog as well. I too have an almost 2 year old daughter and I think she would love those garlic crackers as much as your little one. They look absolutely fabulous! This book sounds amazing and winning it would just save me from having to order it. 🙂
HEY!! I would love love love to have this book because I am hoping to start a food blog of my own very very soon! I am really pumped about it, but I really don’t have much experience with photography…but it’s my passion to cook! 😀
Pick me! Pick me! As a very broke food photographer who eats from my pantry and garden, I can’t buy food or books too often, and I’ve wanted this one for a long time!
I am already a fan on Facebook! 🙂
What a fabulous giveaway! I have been meaning to ge this book and haven’t yet. You do have a lovely blog! 🙂
Oh course we all love you 🙂
The book sounds wonderful!
omg helene is amazing! would love this book 🙂
Now, I’m not from the US, but I figured it was worth commenting. I’ve recently been taking more of an interest in the styling & photography. It’s hard when you cook at night & your kitchen has no natural light (*cry*). Eventually I’ll get a proper kitchen & perhaps I might just check out the book for myself. 🙂 Good luck everyone!
And, finally, I have subscribed 🙂 Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Stumbled it!
I already like you on FB (Katherine M)! I also already like Helene Dujardin if that counts for anything 🙂
I am a huge fan of your blog and have had my eye on this book for some time!
I would love to check out this book! I would love to learn more about food styling and design. Thank you for the opportunity!
OH!!! Angela, you KNOW how many photos of food and drink I take. I use my camera everyday. I REALLY NEED TO WIN THAT BOOK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my photography needs so much help! I am really just starting with this and could really benefit from this book. Thanks
That’s really nice of you :-))
Good Luck!

Kate, you of all of my friends need this book the least. Your photography is stunning. Me on the other hand, I need help. Seriously need help with the photography. If I didn’t have Social Security Claiming Strategies and Retirementology already in my briefcase to read, I’d go out and buy the book. Ok, so that’s my plea 🙂
And stumbled.

Oh, friend, you know I love you and follow you here, there and everywhere. I don’t think you even need the the book. You have style coming out your pores already. Your food was stunning before you read the thing.
I, on the other hand, am style-challenged in all areas of life. 🙂

My dear Kate… you are the most wonderful food blogger, mommy and all around person that we have all met here in the Blogosphere. Your recipes are delicious and your photography… well, it is simply stunning! You are witty and I love that if I come to your house someday I can count on the fact that there will be NO burgers that were purchased in a tube from Sam’s. We love you!!!
How was that??? =) I couldn’t resist tell you how much we all love you!! Seriously, don’t enter me in the giveaway as I actually just ordered a copy and it arrives today!!! Hooray!!! A wonderful giveaway, someday we will all be ready to step into some magazine photographers shoes!
Happy Summer!
Oh, and I now like you on Facebook.
I’ve been wanting to buy this book because I hear so many great things about it. I definitely follow your blog – anyone who makes a snickurtle pie is a friend of mine! 🙂
I do love your blog and your pics and I need the book to start making decent pics! Great giveaway!!

P.s. I have the book, no need to count my comment for the giveaway.
Why I love Kate… let me count the ways… LOL! Seriously, I’d love this book… because it would be A LOT cheaper than the macro photography class I’m thinking about giving myself for my birthday in August! 😀
WHY would I have a website when I can read YOURS? My husband’s most frequent statement nowadays is: ” Are you still looking at recipes?” I love your comments and how you lead me on a wonderful journey to other great cooks. I have a 29 year old daughter who LOVES to bake; however, I know better than to ask her to make a recipe that doesn’t have a picture. I only buy her recipe books with pictures. This sounds like the BOOK for her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing! Julie
And last one…I stumbled ya. Have a great day Kate!
