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

Acai Bowl with Frozen Berries: Yes, sometimes I love to use nail polish for food styling! To be honest, for this image here I only used it for my thumbs. All the other nails are not polished! Tss... let's that be our "secret"! :D

Cinnamon rolls photographed on location for Joe's American Bar and Grill in Boston Mass. Food Stylist Amy Villareale style the image for me.

March 22nd Dutch Pannekoekendag!

Spring is here. I made a quick salad with asparagus and strawberries, the perfect combination in color and on the plate.
Shooting with natural light and some reflecting sheets of white paper.

Dabu-dabu Salsa, or locally known as Sambal Dabu-dabu, is a signature condiment of fresh salsa from Minahasan cuisine in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Chopped tomatoes, shallots, and red and green peppers are mixed together with some limau lime juice. For this version, I used cherry tomato for its stylish appearance; while some basil leaves are scattered on top of the salsa. This condiment goes very well with grilled seafood dishes, especially of the fresh catch from the surrounding coastal water.

It´s a famous receipt, from A Escola by the Artist Restaurant, located in Porto, Portugal. Created by the chef Hugo Dias it's composed by, Tuna, shrimps, urchin. It makes part of the Sensory Summer Menu of this famous restaurant.

This gorgeous Orange and Vanilla Rice Pudding was shot for my upcoming cookbook, Edible Heirlooms.

I went to India last year in August. It was supposed to be the best holiday however the flood in Kerala stopped all my plans except one, looking for props. This is my favorite, easy to make, all nuts cake with the props I brought from India. Picture was taken with Nikon 750, 50mm.

I love to work with natural light to create different moods and effects on food, and enjoyed setting up this still life with some seasonal props like the red leaves of a local plum tree which complement the grapes.

With this little s’mores dish you can really serve a winning dessert! It only contains 3 ingredients and is very simple to make. Place a layer of chocolate callets in a small oven dish, cover with marshmallows and put into the oven until the top is slightly brown and fluffy. After that, you can all dip into it with digestive biscuits.
I love this little dish because it’s so easy to make, nice and sweet and of course because it contains chocolate!
I really love a good dessert!

This is a very special dessert for me as it's one of the few recipes I have from my Nanima (maternal gran). Moreish nutty grains are sweetened with beautiful jaggery and have a hint of cardamom and fennel and bursts of coconut, pistachios, and almonds. A traditionally Gujarati dessert that is so quick and easy to make and just so addictively delicious.

Simple raw steak in an old forged pan. I am very proud of this pan, it belonged to my grandmother and she used it to roast fried potatoes.

Modern diet needs us to eat light but one is used to flavor profiles they grew up eating in their culture. Why not a soup inspired by staple veggie stirfry made at every home? This is a cauliflower soup with fresh mint and green peas and a mustard oil dressing inspired by the traditional Indian gobi matar stir-fry sabzi. Styling inspired by colors of spring as bright and airy with blue skies and sunny yellow and greenery in this picture.

Super fun playing with this product shot alongside @tommyda_v to launch his new re-imagined @vaniteacafe in Chula Visa, San Diego. This was the first sneak peek of his shiny new Vanitea Merchandise.

Raspberry Nice Cream with Sesame Seeds: Yes, one of the most annoying parts about #foodphotography is the cleaning. However, when I can capture some sesame seeds, then it's totally worth that extra effort! It doesn't matter when I find those seeds all over the floor for the next two weeks. :)
