And the winner of the All white theme is…. Andree Oulmann!!
There were so many gorgeous entries for this months All White theme that selecting a winner was really really hard. I am quite happy that I do not make that decision alone but that I share this with my panel of judges; Meeta from What’s for Lunch Honey, Jenn from Jenncuisine and Kay from Kayotic Kitchen. The final winner was not a unanimous vote but most votes count in this case, so the winner of this month’s theme…. *drumroll* is….. Andree Oulmann with her Ajo Blanco.
The image is beautiful with just the bright green of those tiny leaves in the middle of the soup giving the needed point of interest and the one thing your eye is drawn too immediately. So congratulations Andree on doing such a fabulous job! Ofcourse this challenge is not so much about winning but more about challenging yourself to do something different… đ

Our runner up to the challenge was not one, not two but no less then three different photos as – to be honest – all of them were totally awesome. But to kill the suspense; the runner ups were:
- Harini from Tongue Ticklers
- Eva from Food Vegetarisch
- Kankana from Sunshine & smile
I am already looking forward to the entries for next months challenge which will be posted tomorrow!!
And because I thought it would be a great idea to show all the entries for this month in their full glory, please find below all the images entered and the links to the respective posts! Enjoy and see you next month!
Entry by Debbi Smirnoff, who is an amazing photographer. CHeck out some of her work on Flickr!
Kim is bringing us a little bit of sunshine with this delicious caprese salad. Arguably not the whitest entry but still mouthwateringly good!
Moya brought us feta infused with lemon and vanilla. Intriguing flavors!!

!! Wow ÂĄÂĄ all entries are beautiful. I love the one with the old fashioned cocunut cake I would eat it all. The pears covered with rice are cute and the momos photos is beautiful. I love everytime I see this kind of photos and I wish I could make similar ones but I haven’t got enough light at home and (I have no reason why) I finish always adding a colour (many) I suppose it’s my studio :(. Thanks for sharing all this great blogs and their photos also.
O yes that coconut cake by Angela is one of my favorites too! Soo gorgeous and fluffy!
I am so glad to have participated. đ I am already looking forward to the next theme. Like you said it is all about learning, and I am super happy to see so many perspectives!
And I am glad you participated too Harini. I hope everyone likes the second theme as much as the first one… đ
Great clicks. All of them are beautiful.
Cheers,
Rosa
Thanks Rosa!
Same as Harini I am also just glad to have participated đ
And it is great to see now so many fantastic photos from foodies from all over the world!
It is isn’t it? Especially when you see them all in one page it looks pretty good!
I must participate too , only knew about it from Aparna’s place, it will be good excersie otherwise i will stick with the same old photo taking.
O please do Finla! It is so much fun… Would love it if you joined too!
That was fun to see what everyone did. I’m glad I participated and look forward to next challenge. Everyone did such a great job.
Thanks so much Angela! Really happy you participated too and loved that beautiful coconut cake!
What a wonderful gallery you’ve curated Simone! Such an abundance of creativity and skill all on one page. Each on a terrific contribution, so glad I finally played along in one of your challenges. I am learning a lot!
And that’s what it’s all about Robin! The learning is the fun part….;)

Thanks for such an awesome entry Andree!
I am impressed by all the gorgeous entries!wow never thought white on white could be so gorgeous! well done all!
Thanks Karin! I love white on white even though it is not the easiest to work with but it always gives this feeling of lightness I think… Crisp too…
Love how light and airy all of these bright white compositions are. Quite dreamy, really!
Thanks so much Hannah!
They are ALL beautiful! Congratulations Andree!! đ
Thanks Laurie!
This has to be my favorite one ever! All the entries are gorgeous!

What a great challenge and entries, I’ll have to try and get involved to, always need a new photography challenge to push me out of the norm.
Please do Alli! Would love to see your entry!
A lovely challenge and beautiful entries. Congrats to Andree. It was an Ajo Blanco. đ
Congratulations Andree! I’m so sad that I didn’t get to participate in this challenge. I even took the photos but my work schedule went crazy this month and I didn’t have a chance to post them before the deadline! Lots of beautiful photos here – my favourites would have to be those taken by Kankana, Eva and Aparna. I am determined to join this challenge soon, if not this month then definitely the next!
Sorry that you missed it Amy but better next time!
Gorgeous shots! Congrats everyone đ
Each and every photograph is breathtakingly beautiful.
WoW. All stunning images. I am sorry I missed this event.
Wow! So many entries! And they’re all so good. Really excellent–had to be tough to choose between so many gorgeous entries.
