About Sugar et al.
19|02|2013

Hello and Welcome to Sugar et al! I am Sonali and I create recipes, style and photograph food for a living. Sugar et al. is a place where I share my passion for food (mainly sweet), photography, colors and all things beautiful and creative. Sweet food is celebrated here and quick, simple, savory cooking is encouraged. We want to reserve our time and calories for the naughty treats. I live in Sydney, Australia with my wonderful husband and amazing little twin boys. I started this blog in early 2013, a few months after I came to live in Sydney, smitten by the passionate food industry here, the gorgeous Australian produce and my need to cook with them every single day. What began as a humble effort to share recipes and my constant experiments in the kitchen soon turned into a full time food photography venture. A contributor to StockFood (Photocuisine) and other stock agencies, my work has been published globally across a range of media including magazines, cookbooks and advertising. I love partnering with brands and businesses to create visually stunning content. Over the last two years I have collaborated with both international and local businesses to bring their creative … Read More
