Photo by Kamran Siddiqi of The Sophisticated Gourmet. This shot from food blogger Kamran Siddiqi, captures the impossible instant before the melt and is a terrific example of using contrasting textures. The chilly metal tray lends a shiver of danger --- quick, grab a spoon, that fudge will melt the ice cream. The rough surface of the table and the burlap, on the other hand, pronounce the smooth creamy texture of the ice cream and the glossy shine of the sauce. Instant Drool Response on a sweltering day.
