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.
