Welcome to Food/Photography Friday 2020. If you’re new to the series, you’ll find the kickoff post here.
By the look of today’s international news, we could all use some whimsicality and humor to start the weekend, so I’m doing my part with some fanciful food photography. I hope you’ll enjoy this harmless predatory visitor to the café.
No holiday gift is safe from an avid photographer, and the toppings on these cookies were so — well, over the top — I had to put them into a photo shoot. I took a few serious shots, the cookie plate on a festive holiday table sort of thing, then hastened to have some fun with the lion ornament among my props.
He and this wild version of Italian biscotti — their icing chunky with nuts, chocolate or caramel chips, and sprinkles — seemed made for each other. I imagined him prowling down a rocky road of these textured confections, investigating, and taking bites here and there. Hence, the cookie predator.
Enjoy the weekend, maybe take a news fast, and create something for fun yourself.

I tend to prefer my biscotti ‘straight,’ with perhaps only some dried fruits and nuts on the inside, but I must admit I’m charmed by your cookie predator. Better to admire such a predator than to drone on about recent events — at least, for now! (And now, I want some biscotti!)
