Gathering of Friends Cookbook - Volume 4 - Photography by Suzy O

The Italian Garden at Thanksgiving Point Gardens. Taken September 2011 by Suzy Oliveira. 

Awwwwwwwwhhhhhhh. Doesn't the above picture make you want to just sit back, relax, and join the dinner? 

I'm delighted to announce that I was the photographer of The Gathering of Friends Volume 4: Celebrating Mother Nature. 

For approximately 10 weeks I had the joy of working in the amazing Thanksgiving Point Garden with Michelle Huxtable, Abby Green, Pam Esmay, Jean Olsen, Ken Huxtable and Brayden Iwasaki. 

This is the fourth volume of The Gathering of Friends, and I believe it is the best cookbook yet! Look at what I got to photograph!  (And this is just a one-time sneak peek of the Italian Garden!) There are many, many more images to come. 

To get a copy of this beautiful cookbook, visit the Thanksgiving Point Emporium after December 15, 2011. They have the book exclusively through December. In January 2012, I'll post an update as to locations around the country where the book will be available. 

Those Lemon Torte bars above were delicious! (One of the perks of shooting the food is that sometimes I got to eat it afterward!) 

The Gardens of Thanksgiving Point are one of Utah's "gems." I love visiting the gardens with my family...it was especially enjoyable to work in the gardens throughout the season of photographing the cookbook. 

Thank you for stopping by! Stay tuned for more sneak peeks of some of my other favorite chapters.

Enjoy!
