This is one of the favorite dishes of our family, especially in winter. The hot beef stew with a spicy taste from chili, a unique fragrance from star anise and cinnamon protected us from the cold and windy weather last night.

Photographer: Diep Tran (Brisbane, Australia) Registered
Born in Viet Nam and now living in Brisbane, Australia, Diep Tran enjoys taking photos of simple things around the house, during travel and asking relatives and friends to be her models.Recently her interest has focused on the art of pure photography, the effects of light and shade and the correct time of day relevant to the shot. This has broadened her mind in the creative side of photography.

Her Buddhist upbringing taught her to appreciate the beauty and quality of life in natural and man made objects around the world. After travelling to a few countries and observing different climates, seasons and ways of living, her outlook on photo has improved and her presentations hopefully show that aspect in her work.
