Food Blogging Party with Tartelette

Food Blogging Party with Tartelette

Helene, the famous Tartelette, is in Utah to speak at the evo conference. I met Helene last year at Blogher Food and was thrilled when I heard she was coming to Utah for a visit. Josh picked her up from the airport on Thursday and we have been having a great time ever since. She is a joy to have around and we are honored to have her as a house guest.

Thursday night we had a food blogging get together at Cristie’s lovely home. It was the perfect evening for a garden party and of course the spread of food was amazing. Utah food bloggers sure know how to party. Everyone loved visiting with Helene. She was gracious to share food photography and styling tips, macaron pointers, and personal stories. She is an amazing woman with many special gifts.

Here are a few photos from the garden party:

Thanks to all of the food bloggers who attended the party. It was a fabulous evening:

Brooke from Cheeky Kitchen
Holly from Phemomenon
Bonnie from City Home Country Home
Dara from Cookin’ Canuck
Becky from The Vintage Mixer
Cristie from The Table Runner
Jaime from Sophistimom

This weekend I am up in Park City for the evo conference. Today I am attending Helene’s food photography workshop…it’s going to be good! I have my notebook and pen ready to take good notes. I am having a blast hanging out with a few of my favorite food blogging buds-Katie, Kristen, Jane, Aggie, and Amy…to name a few. It’s going to be a fantastic weekend.

    *Envy* How I would love to take photos like Tartlette…and bake like Tartlette…and meet someone so lovely and interesting. Sounds like a wonderful opportunity – and what wonderful food!

    There is no experience quite like meeting other food bloggers.
