Somebody with a white hat and apron should have carved the lines “The heart of food lies in the spices” on their kitchen wall, photographed it, put it in a frame and sell it on amazon. Thank me later!
Since I can cook better with words than with spices, I will present before you the flavours of Spices through these eye-drooling pictures and wish you a mouth watering read.
TheUncommonBox had hosted yet another photography contest that asked to capture the flavours, the essence, the heart of a delicious appetite and the conservatively well-know medicinal marvel, ‘Spices’. The focus of this contest was to capture the raw spices, regular or exotic, viz., chillies, cinnamons, cloves, etc., that are used in our daily cookery. It was a test of photography, styling and how well do you perceive the food nub. This interesting idea was suggested by one of the admin of TheUncommonBox, Manjari Nandy especially for the foodies, food bloggers, stylists and enthusiasts. The contest welcomed the combo of food and photography enthusiast, to put forward a spicy affair, creatively for various eyes to see.
For participation, there were set of rules which were to be followed, in order to make it to the entry list. Pictures of raw spices were to be uploaded, along with the #SpiceupTUB and #theuncommonbox. The work had to be completely original and no plagiarism was appreciated. The rules are looked into strictly, since we found a lot of manipulation with respect to them.
We received over 180 posts, that were further sorted and selected for the toppers list, by our members Anik Sau, Kamia Madan, Manjari Nandy, Virgin Khanikhor and Vaibhav and to be honest the shortlisting was extremely tough! The entries were extremely striking and appealing. Restating this once again, that it wasn’t easy to pick our top 25.
So without further ado, let us have a look at the top 25 of this contest.
