I saw a recipe for a light version of hollandaise made from yoghurt, tumric and horseradish and had to try it with poached eggs and smoked salmon. It came out delicious and totally guilt free.

I am obsessed with Nigella Lawson and this seafood bake is one of her recipes. I had prepared this dish for a dinner party I was hosting and when it came out of the oven, I was so pleased with how it looked. I found the colors so appealing. Luckily it was during the summer time, and I had sufficient natural light beaming through my window even though it was 7pm! I thought it was a great example of a photograph that lets the produce speak for itself.

Back home, my favorite restaurant that makes a great steak served with chimichurri on the side. I was missing home the day I shot this, and craving that delicious and perfectly cooked dish and so I tried to replicate it in my kitchen. I shot it the way I like to eat it; slathered in chimichurri and bursting with flavor!
