UPDATE: I WON!!!! Thank you so much everyone for voting! Check it out here.
I was nominated for a few categories over at the Kitchn's annual “Homies” awards. Because of your votes, I was able to move ahead to the next round of voting in the photography category. I have dedicated the last six months to improving my photography skills for my book, so as a fully self-taught photographer, this nomination came as a surprise and a huge honor. Michelle from Nom Nom Paleo won it last year, so you know I would be in company if I was lucky enough to win this year.
The voting is only open until Feb 13th and I thought it would be fitting to give you the first-ever SNEAK PEEK at some photos from my new cookbook
I would SO appreciate it if you could take a couple of minutes to vote for me in the Food Photography Category. JUST CLICK HERE You just have to create an account quickly and verify your registration thru email.
While you're there, make Paleo dominate and vote for my friends Civilized Caveman for Best Recipe Blog and PaleOMG for Best Healthy Cooking Blog.

Against All Grain Cookbook Sneak Peek (available for preorder on Amazon mid February!)
You can see how I've improved and what kind of style of food photos you can continue to expect on Against All Grain. My theory is if it doesn't make your mouth water, it's not worth wasting your time trying out the recipe! See if you can keep yourself from salivating…

I don’t often buy cookbooks anymore, but I will be buying yours. Your grain-free bread recipe is outstanding. I bake it for myself and also make and ship loaves to my 92-year-old mother, who likes it so much she stopped eating bagels for breakfast and just wants “the bread my daughter makes”.

Heather @ Multiply Delicious
Beautiful Danielle! So excited for the book!
Against All Grain
Thanks Heather!
Tami Jo Eaton
You have awesome photos!! I know it is probably more expensive to publish a book with photos, but I honestly buy books if they have photos and I don’t buy cookbooks without. Even searching blogs, I search out pictures and if there are no pictures, I usually move on to another blog. Good luck ! I will go vote now.
Against All Grain
Thanks Tami! Yes it is a lot more work/money to include photos for every recipe, but I think it is SO important! We eat with our eyes first!
Julie
After the cookbook, open a restaurant!!
Ava Miller
If there the Olympics listed food photography as a sport I bet these photos should be a top candidate to win a gold no questions ask! Two thumbs up!
Angela
Come on cookbook!!! I’m wearing out my phone battery trying to cook from recipes I pull up. One day I used my netbook & dumped almond flour onto the keyboard…not good. I suppose I could print them out. Naaah, I’ll just wait anxiously for the cookbook.
The Literary Lioness
Congratulations on winning and I’m sure that your book will be gorgeous!
Hannah
I’ll be buying two copies of your book! One for me and for my parents to help them see that primal living is easy as pie! Or bacon….
Christy
Danielle,
I just wanted to tell you that I was looking at Williams Sonomas pictures of the “quince” cookware on Pinterest, trying to decide which was my favorite. I picked yours! I didn’t even realize who the blogger was until I had already voted! I was so excited because I love against all grain. Can’t wait to get the cookbook! 🙂
Christy
Against All Grain
