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.

Light and irresistible homemade tiramisu dessert garnished with cocoa powder, orange infused dark chocolate and those tiny crispy chocolate pearls. Its heart hides a drop of Irish Cream and Italian espresso.
A game with light and delicate textures.

For the photo, I've used a large softbox and a bounce card with minimum post editing.

Turkish Delight is a sweet memory. It fills all the senses. If you haven't tried it yet, it definitely should be on the list. Perfect to pair with a strong coffee.

The photo is a one-shot with a single flash as a light source and a bounce card. I've used a handful of tooth sticks and a clip holder to support the "flying" pieces. Edited in Photoshop for colour corrections and to remove the supporting elements.

Between hot and cold. Baileys Irish Cream with caramelized marshmallow. It's done with a combination of a natural and artificial flashlight.

While dreaming for the hot summer, or just as a refreshment, get yourself a glass of G&T.
I was going to a classic side lighting and simple background to accent the different type of glasses. The colours are limited to green and yellow for a fresh look and feel. I've chosen the front view to show the diversity of the glass heights and give the feeling of a depth.
I hope my picture will make you thirsty ;)
