Using saffron for either sweet and savory dishes can be very expensive, lucky just a very small amount of this spice that weight for weight is more expensive than gold once infused will produce the most intents flavor and color.
My image idea was to reflect the luxury that is associated with this spice

The perfect healthy snack.
Roasted Almonds the smell is almost as good as the taste.
Pan roasted with olive oil and salt ( not too much tho).

Capers.. the flinders rose. Capers are excellent with foods across the board from pizza to fish, talking of fish I find the tiny buds almost shell like with everyone being different.

Staying in ….
The inspiration for this image came from the single black and gold earring that was found under a bed while helping a friend move . The matching earring long gone many years ago. Thinking how I could incorporate it to a food story. I came up with Staying in, with cherries and chocolate. With the help of photoshop I made the earrings a pair once more.

I first came across Quinoa when my daughter introduced me to her plant based diet. Quinoa is full of protein and has been named as a super crop because of its health benefits, easy to digest, gluten free and particularly rich in lysin.
I decided to photograph Quinoa both raw and cooked to get closer to its textures and to observe the changes from a small round seed to a light and fluffy rice consistency. The objective was to set a light and airy scene to match the lunch.
