My image illustrating the “Kringle 3000 Hot Dog” recipe from my Unofficial Elf Cookbook has been selected for inclusion in the American Photography 41 book!!

These loaded hot dogs were inspired by Santa’s sleigh, powered by the mighty Kringle 3000 engine, that Santa relies on for his epic trek across the globe in the movie “Elf”.

Thank you to the staff and judges at AP-AI, and to the amazing team at Media Lab Books who trusted me to write and photograph The Unofficial Elf Cookbook.

“We talk about Jackie’s belief that writing and photographing a cookbook is an inclusive process, along with her experiences as a full-time food photographer, and her ultimate desire to write her own cookbooks, which culminated in two books, one called Sprinkles: Recipes and Ideas for Rainbowlicious Desserts which explores the science of sprinkles (Sprinkology!), shares crafty methods for sprinkling, and offers a comprehensive guide to identifying and cooking with them and her most recent book published in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic – Taste of Tucson.”
