How it started
A Food Centric Life is authored by me, Sally Cameron. It started as a way to share my passion for cooking as a personal chef and caterer with family and friends. I’m blessed that my husband has the same passion for photography as he shoots all of the photos on this site. I am not a photographer and could never do this without him. I do the food styling for our shots but don’t have the technical knowledge that Kent does behind the camera. It’s fun for us to combine our gifts to create something to benefit you.
About the Recipes
The recipes on A Food Centric Life are mainly my own or recipes that have been adapted from and inspired by other chefs, cookbook authors, food bloggers and cooking sites. I always explain the inspiration or origination of a recipe if it’s not my own. Always credit where credit is due, thankfully, to those who have inspired me over the years.
I focus on healthy cooking with seasonally available, fresh produce, natural meats and organic poultry, wild seafood, wine, and healthier fats and sweeteners. When I cook, I use as much organic as possible, although I do not mention it in every recipe. You need to choose what is best for you. I also believe in eliminating unhealthy ingredients like partially hydrogenated oils. There are some splurge recipes here as well, because life is too short not to have a treat once in awhile.
For vegetarian and vegan cooks, and those who follow a gluten-free lifestyle, I include notes on how to change recipes to work for you where possible. I am adding metric measurements for international readers. If you find a recipe without them, please bear with me a I work through conversions.
Another passion of mine is discovering new, interesting ingredients, always sharing resources on where to find them.
Marketing, Advertising and Affiliate Programs
We are currently part of affiliate marketing programs from Sur La Table, Amazon, and Vitamix, because we love the products or love shopping there. That means if you follow a link and purchase from the respective site on a product I use and recommend, I could receive a small compensation for your purchase.
Photography and Content
All of the photographs are taken by my talented husband Kent. Occasionally one of my feeble attempts passes the photographers critical eye and is deemed worthy of being used. I’ll probably learn to shoot when he learns to cook.
Most of the shots are done in our kitchen. We usually shoot with studio lighting as we don’t have good natural light in the kitchen. Needless to say my kitchen often looks like a studio. Our dream is to build a studio to work in. Someday!
All photos are copyright Kent Cameron or A Food Centric Life. If you want to use one of our photos please contact us for permission.
We ask that you please give credit where credit is due and link back to the post from where the photo was taken from. We maintain the right to withdraw permission and request that our photo be removed from another site for any reason. Please, don’t just steal our recipes, posts and photos. Please ask. It takes many hours to create each post.
