Breakfast or a dessert? This yogurt chia pudding with berries can surely be both. And it's easy to make it with frozen berries during colder months too.

I wanted to capture movement sharply here to attract the attention to all those pine nuts, which gave texture and interesting taste to the dish.

Cold coffee, lots of whipped cream and some chocolate - who wouldn’t want to have a drink like this on a hot day? A reminder of a hot summer we had month ago. I’m missing it already.

I took a few very similar photos of these banana fritters, but with different light. Sidelight was not that pleasant this time and backlight looked just right.

Biscotti with dried cranberries, almonds, vanilla bean and amazingly flavorful orange powder. I took quite a few photos of dusting biscotti with the powder but liked especially this one as it sprinkled so softly and a little bit to the left.

A beautiful, colorful and romantic dessert. The taste of this basil and strawberry panna cotta is great! As for the photo, I think the framing with flowers and subtly contrasting pastel colors are the strengths of it.

I really wanted those berries to pop in this image. I experimented with my new backdrop and changed the color of it a bit to really match the blueberries and create a contrast to strawberries.

Lazy weekend mornings are totally my type of starting o relaxing day. Sweet breakfast or even a dessert, a cup of tea in pajamas or a bathrobe, calm music, a page or two of an interesting book or a journal, family members somewhere near and peace in mind. I just totally love every minute of mornings like these.

Cheesy quesadillas with beef and vegetables and avocado sauce on a side! The taste was sooo good and I wondered how to show off their taste to make the viewers crave to grab a few of these. I felt that minimal styling, stacking quesadillas one on another, catching some highlights on the filling and involving movement are good choices.
