French Recipe Book - Cocktail Passion:Entertaining with Love

This labour of love, by Nathalie Arbefeuille and Jaen Ang with yours truly as the photographer will soon hit the the market. In fact, I expect to carry some books starting from next week. You can place orders with me.

The food was mouth-watering good. You can either buy the book and try out your hand at making some of the cocktails, or visit 'Nathalie's Gourmet Kitchen' located at Solaris Mont Kiara.

- another solution would be to use a very fast lens and a very high iso. not with my nikon d300. maybe canon or d700 or d3x

and glasses upon glasses of drinks for us
