Spring..... and all those inspiring colours that feed your motivation, Lavender water so refreshing with a slice of lemon just right for that relaxing afternoon

I first saw this Spanish salted fish last summer, the light was hitting the skin in a way that brought out amazing tones of red, orange and brown. I made it my mission to try and recapture the same tones

Love these little chaps but very rarely can I find one with all seeds complete, I paired their woody texture
with a matching rough background.

I wanted this image to be light and very soft so the green nuts stood out from the plain shell. These Pistachios where shot in window light

I came across this glass bottle at a flea market, I was attracted to the thickness of the old glass. I believe it is a bottle from an old ship as it has a curved base (I would love to know if anyone could tell me more ) being the olive season I married the two together keeping all the colors and texture very rustic

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.
