Photographer Sarah Flotard Gives New Tillamook Recipes Some Cheesy Goodness

Food photographer Sarah Flotard recently wrapped a shoot for Tillamook featuring recipes developed by powerhouse Portland chef Sarah Schafer for the Creamery - Tillamook's onsite eatery - and the rebranding of Tillamook's website. Teaming up with food and prop stylist Callie Meyer, Flotard captured four cheesy recipes from the new menu including beer mac and cheese and a Cubano sandwich.

As you can see from the final images, their chemistry was an asset: "We wanted to show the very best version of these recipes, while still making them attainable for the consumer. Working in tandem and so closely with your food stylist is really important with cheese melts or pulls because you have just that one delicious, sexy moment of perfectly melted cheese."

If you're looking for a fresh take on an old favorite, here's Schafer's recipe for classic Tillamook grilled cheese!
