Unnatural in my natural state

With direction from the gals at Outside Media I was pulled in front of a camera on Wednesday to shoot a few cooking demos for the website. Honestly, it wasn't the direction I ever thought I would go but the opportunity arose and everything came together smoothly, I guess it was just meant to be. I was able to use an amazing kitchen in what is my future dream home. The Seasprite Hotel in Cannon Beach, Oregon owns and operates it as a vacation rental and they were so kind to let me use it. Hilary and Kirsten from Outside Media came early on Wednesday and set up shop while I got busy getting my ingredients together.

We started with Biscuits and Gravy and ended with Salmon. I wasn't nervous before but once I was suppose to be "on" I found that I stumbled for words and it felt really unnatural. Normally, cooking and talking and being loud comes easy for me but when I need to be for a shot it was more difficult then I could ever imagine. By the end of the day it started to feel smooth and if I ever get to do this again I will be more prepared.

Stay tuned to the website for them and check out the Seasprite in Cannon Beach Oregon if you ever want to host a huge family weekend, http://www.seasprite.com/.
