Paneer is one of the only traditional Indian cheeses that is 100% vegetarian, often used as a source of protein for non-meat eaters. Sometimes referred to as Indian cottage cheese, it is used extensively in North Indian cuisine, from sweets to snacks to curries and flatbreads. After buying paneer from the dairy shop for many years, I’ve recently mastered making my own version at home. I’ve shared the technique here.

Acouple weeks back Jonathan Canlas came to Australia to mentor 17 aspiring photographers, in a workshop called "Film Is Not Dead." Being lucky enough to find myself a part of this group of people, I was brimming with excitement long before we even arrived at the rural farm we were staying at.
On the first evening of our workshop, we spontaneously decided instead of splitting up and finding our own meals in the city, we would get to know each other better by taking advantage of the beautiful setting we were already in, and putting our creative energies into preparing a classic Australian barbeque dinner.

Ayoung group of New York friends staked out a spot to build a cabin in Beaver Brook, a remote location in the woods near Yulan.

They’ve documented the process (and their beautiful surroundings) here.

This photographic project by Ines Nepomuceno was conceived through a ritual of photographing her meals like a still life painting. The banality of the subject was transformed through her photography and made the often uninteresting moment at the end of a meal something beautiful and memorable.
