ABOUT THE BLOG

Welcome to Tony Fitzgerald Photography, where every recipe is built from the heart — and a few master recipes that make everything simpler, smarter, and more sustainable. Created by Lisa LeCoump, a food photographer and agricultural expert, this blog blends decades of real-world experience in the field and the kitchen. Each post celebrates premium ingredients (yes, we name the brands), chef-inspired tips, and easy methods that make baking fun, foolproof, and better for the planet.

While traveling the world and looking for the best quality ingredients, we found that many producers who care about quality also care about sustainability. When we used the best quality ingredients we also reduced our carbon footprint. Additionally, by buying regenerative products, we could actually help reverse climate change. So, this blog features some of those products. If everyone did this, it would have a big effect on climate change. Little changes add up to something big.

WHY THE RECIPES ON THIS FOOD BLOG ARE SUSTAINABLE:

Cutting meat consumption is a powerful and personal thing most Americans can do to tackle the climate crisis, and they can do it immediately. About 40 percent of greenhouse gases come from agriculture, deforestation and other land-use changes. (Scientific America)
