Sixty-Sixth Collection

The Vietnamese soup Phở consisting of broth, rice noodles, herbs, vegetables and beef is simply one of my favorite asian dished. Hoping the world soon opens up again, giving us all the possibility to travel the world again to tast amazing flavors all around the globe.

Tableside S'mores presented by Executive Chef Justin Hayes at Cork & Flame in Augusta, Georgia. This dish features house-made marshmallows and chocolate with a sea salt fire.

Danish squid, cucumber and chorizo by chef Rasmus Bundgaard. So simple but absolutely amazing in taste and texture, and a very beautiful dish!

"The inimitable taste of Batticuori comes from the union of cocoa and dark chocolate, with their crumbly heart-shaped dough that makes them perfect for a sweet soak!"
So wrote Mulino Bianco @mulinobianco in its packs of Batticuori, biscuits that have always accompanied our entire days, from breakfast to a healthy and fun snack.

Alphonso Mango, Lemon, Thyme and Granola, a dessert by Restaurant 22 Cambridge, this small and welcoming restaurant is owned by chef Sam Carter and his partner Alex, the dishes they serve are stunning and they have to be on the Michelin radar.

This dish is photographed for Rocco Violante's restaurant. For the summertime, I had thought to use a black wood table to take more contrast to the freshness of the ingredients in the dish.

Wagyu Kiriotoshi. Japan has its premium, world-class beef variety called Wagyu. Kiriotoshi means thinly sliced of meat. This meat is superb for grilling. Some bunashimeji mushroom and garlic will definitely be included in the grill.

The idea for this shot first started with the bowl that made to resemble a stone. Then I looked for an idea what to shoot this with. Upon seeing the beautiful meat in the supermarket, then I decided that it is the perfect food for the shot with the gorgeous bowl.

Cheese fondue allows you to pick all the ingredients you like and dip them in a delicious bowl of molten cheese. As you can imagine, a colourful and atmospheric picture developes easily!

The food is on point when it reaches the culinary point of your taste. There are no recipes and secrets. There is imagination and creativity, the two mandatory ingredients in a kitchen. Cook with joy and the food will be joy! For this month I have a delicious Tonka brownie revelation of taste with strawberry foam.

Thank you that I am also part of the vision of excellence of the @foodelia team!
Thank you for my assistant photographer @valdrawfim and to God that I can see the beauty of the world!

I thought it would be fun to compose still life elements, and that’s how it happened a perfect combination of shape, color and textures. The direction of the light was thought in a sober, subtle and meticulous way to clearly highlight the dried oranges.

This image is part of a series of images done with and Delicious and organic Olive Oil Alevoo and this particular image was my creative way to present the Recipe's ingredients.

The dance of the bubbles. I was shooting a champagne glass collection, trying different lighting and wine movement techniques. When shooting this coupe glass I wanted to emphasize the color of this vintage champagne and the beautiful dance of the bubbles.

I love burgers because they can be fill with almost everything you want according to the season. Here there is chicken, cabbage and bleu de brebis that match with the green napkin. The pic was taken in daylight.

Homemade Vegan Chocolate Fig Cupcakes with Irish Cream Frosting, and Fig Irish Cream Frosting. Nikon D810, 105mm/2.8, ISO 100, 1/160 sec, f/7.1 with Godox SK400ii strobe.

Matcha tea waffles. The subtle bitterness of the matcha tea powder contrasts the sweetness of the waffles and fruits which makes it a surprisingly light and elegant dessert.

Italian Spritz cocktail served at home during a sunset spring evening in Rome. Love the orange colors shading with sunlight giving a refreshing and soft look to the picture.

The best way to eat your ‘colours’ is to make a generous bowl of coleslaw salad. Refreshing and crunchy served with roasted sesame seed dressing.

As a real sushi lover I wanted to shoot this piece of art in a typical sushi way, but with a little movement in it. So the little seeds had to do the trick :) I used a simple background (black cotton) and added some flashlights to put the sushi in the spotlight.

Have you tried the Bulgarian Tarator? It's a very simple and refreshing cold raw soup made of yoghurt, cucumber, dill, garlic, olive oil, and if you like, you can add some walnuts. The main ingredient is the Bulgarian yoghurt which is thick, not sweet, and combines perfectly with a pinch of salt. You'll need to add some water to turn it into a soup. If you know Tzatziki, yes, it's similar, but never the same. In the photo, you can notice all the ingredient for Tarator alongside my homemade yoghurt. Served with some ice is perfect for the hot summer.

Seafood is usually very photogenic, the textures it offers are very interesting, but beyond that, this photo is a great example that color is a great compositional element.

This dish is part of the Michelin menu from restaurant Daalder in Amsterdam. Chef Dennis Huwaë celebrates with this dish his first Michelin star. The plate used is made by Maravillas.

Involving colors and flavors this shot goes from a basic recipe to a delightful and tasty pleasure mixing the greatness of simplicity.

Coffee and walnut and Masala Chai macarons. Made using the traditional French method, creating the perfect texture, crisp on the outside and chewy in the centre. A Springtime photoshoot in Scotland for Beth Webb, Chef at B on the Road.

When you make empanadas, you make a lot. So many, that for the next few days, any time you need a snack (and any time you don't) you swing by the fridge for an empanada break. This empanada was provided by @fondafelix.sc.
