Pull up a chair and settle in for our 50 Shades of Food series, where we introduce you to mouthwatering, shiver-inducing, hot, sexy food porn. It’s safe-for-work browsing, sure to get your heart racing and your palms a little sweaty, and the only drawback is a possible hunger pang or two after viewing.
‘You never forget your first, right?’ asks pastry chef Meghan McGarry, who loves to flirt with dessert on her blog Buttercream Blondie. She’s of course referring to a recipe makeover; her first being a strawberry shortcake that landed her a job as a pastry chef in Boston.
Meghan’s take on the classic includes a brown sugar pecan cake filled with white chocolate mousse. ‘Add local strawberries that have been getting cozy with Grand Marnier, and the final dish is both fun and comforting,’ she wrote.
If you’d like to get in on the food porn action, upload photos of your food to any of our food galleries -- What did you eat this weekend?; Our recipes, your kitchen; or Cheers! What are you drinking? -- and we’ll be on the lookout for photos that make our eyes pop. You can also share photos with us on our Facebook page or on Twitter. Be sure to include your name, a description of the photo and any personal blog or Twitter handle you’d like us to give a shout-out to.
