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.

I shot this image for 2018 Saveur Food Blogger of the Year Finalist - thesweetrebellion.co.za.
The shoot took place in Cape Town, South Africa. I wanted to best capture the individual elements for what they brought to the final product. Breaking chocolate, sticky toffee, crunchy peanuts and gooey nougat.

I love the early mornings with the light streaming through my kitchen window. My family loves a fresh berry parfait during the summer. I createdd this fresh berry parfait with Greek yogurt and granola and photographed it in my kitchen with window light.

Seared tuna at Cafe at Adele's in Carson City. Chef Charlie Abowd, who was invited to the James Beard House in New York, is known for his remarkable food, beautifully presented.

Who doesn’t like a fresh greek salad? I could eat it almost every day. The interesting part is that it is also very popular in Greece. Usually after I come back home from a travel, I try to recreate the food-mood from the country I have just been to. In June I visited Greece, one of its very many islands, Alonnisos. Except musaca, greek salad was my favorite food there. The first thing I did when I came back home, I prepared and later photographed greek salad....and I ate it afterwards.

Autumn Mushrooms .
I re-discover every season and their beauties when I'm looking for inspiration. You see Shiitake, Nameko, Oyster, Chestnut mushrooms, and Thyme in this composition. I wanted you to feel as if they were just harvested, and ready to be part of a majestic recipe.
Autumn is my favorite season with its bright colors and unique light.
