If you’re trying to avoid caffeine then a rose infused pink latte will hit the spot 💕 Made with @rawnice pink pataya powder, rose water, almond milk and raw honey. Topped with pink coconut cream and rose petals it’s a perfect start to the day 💗

My life is complicated. Complicated but exciting 😉During the week I live in one country (for work) and then at weekends and holidays in the place we really love ❤️ Both in small places but one in the city and one by the sea. I never know where my things are, like my favourite pair of trousers or favourite lipstick 😆For photography it is even more complicated as the car boot is always full of photography gear and props. Then there are the times you have the photoshoot all decided and you forget your camera. Like last weekend 🤦🏼‍♀️ So I had baked these macarons and had all the props then went to look for my camera and… boom! I realised I left it behind 😳Never fear the iPhone came to my rescue. This photo shows while it won’t always give you the results you had intended it works perfectly for flatlays. I intentionally put the blossoms in front and out of focus so as to frame the photo. Oh and by the way the macarons were delish 💜

LEMON GINGER HONEY TEA I love living by the sea an

LEMON GINGER HONEY TEA
I love living by the sea and waking up to the sounds of the waves but waking up to the sounds of the city also gives you a different kind of a buzz. On a recent work trip to the city I woke up just after dawn to the busy sound of life starting earlier than I normally do. But you know what? It gave me more energy than normal and I was able to work a lot faster. It just proves that surroundings affect your working ability and energy. But first… I needed to start the day with some lemon honey tea 💛 Are you a city or country/seaside type of person?

Berry Gin Splash There’s something about summer

Berry Gin Splash

There’s something about summer, pink gin and berries that gets me every time. I made this gin cocktail using crushed cherries and strawberries with pink gin. This was my first time doing levitation food photography as requested by a client so I thought I’d get some practice in first 😍 I had fun photographing this but what a mess I made! And it’s not even Friday 😉

CITRUS SPLASH I am obsessed with limes and anythin

CITRUS SPLASH
I am obsessed with limes and anything citrus. Months ago I bought a fish tank (minus the fish) and it has been sitting in the box until yesterday so when I was cutting up some limes for cooking I thought why not! I decided to use my composing skills so I could enter the Golden Triangles challenge held by @creativefoodlens . It’s not as easy composing with a full tank of water as it is on a dry backdrop but with a lot of limes, a lot of splashing and a lot of mess I’m pretty proud of it 💚What to do with the left over limes… It’s simple: pass the G&T 🍸

I just love everything about the Mediterranean. The colour blue, lemons growing wild and palm trees swaying in the wind. So why not put all of that into a photo shoot and have fun while doing it 💙 Shot in my Mediterranean garden with fresh lemons, harsh sunlight and under the shade of my palm tree. Shame I missed the #bvshardlight challenge but worth posting anyway 💙

I’m in love with strawberry season 🍓 While we can get them all year round you just can’t beat the flavour of local strawberries. They are so versatile in sweet and savoury dishes and they are my favourite ingredient to photograph ❤️ You don’t need fancy plates or props to show them off 🥰 Plus they don’t last long after a photoshoot 😉 😍

It’s World Bee Day today so what better way to celebrate than to show you my latest honey photography. A good quality honey is as important as good quality meat, fish and vegetables. A lot of supermarket honey is full of additives so it’s important to do your research. We are so lucky to have a local honey provider @honeyandthrive.es providing the purest honey from bees in Sierra de Ronda delivered straight to our doorstep. I haven’t tasted honey like it and it is pure heaven. It is medicinal, thick and full of flavour from the sweetest of Andalusian blossoms 🌼I often have to travel to Ireland laden with travel friendly honey jars to the delight of my friends and family 💛 They also make Honey Cham (a honey cava low in alcohol) and honey infusions for your baking and cooking so this honey is in my everyday diet 😉 Do you have a favourite honey? 🍯

TROPICAL BBQ FISH SKEWERS 🌴 I find when I cook

TROPICAL BBQ FISH SKEWERS 🌴
I find when I cook a lot of recipes I make are influenced from life experiences and this one is no different. Brought up as a child in Bermuda for 6 years I have the best memories of my parents barbecuing entire fish, lobsters, any fresh seafood they could get their hands on. It was always followed by bbq tropical fruit. They had numerous bbq parties as it was an outdoor lifestyle and all I remember is laughter, noise and friendship. Fast forward x number of years and I am continuing the trend for which I owe so much to my parents. These kebabs were made with a lot of love, memories and darn good seafood 😍 Recipe coming soon ❤️

TABLE FOR 2 PLEASE 💕
Some weekends you want minimal work, minimal fuss yet still want something that tastes incredible 💕 I often pre prepare my Friday or Saturday night meal ahead of time so it can just be thrown together last minute. It means I get to spend more quality time with family and friends and unwind after a busy week. After all chilling at the weekend is what life is all about 💕 Also the fact that I got zero work done all week as I was devouring Master the Art of Food Photography summit all week 🥰
In the photo is my homemade beetroot & walnut hummus, carrot and coriander falafels with crispy veg served on a chargrilled wrap. Happy Saturday 💕

I’m wondering if I’m the only one with left over Easter eggs 😳 After a week or two of walking past a stash of chocolate eggs (without having the willpower to avoid snacking on one every time I walked past 😉) I felt enough was enough. So I decided it was time to melt them down into something that could be frozen and eaten all year round😋So this is not an Easter brownie cake it is an all year round left over Easter egg brownie cake 😉 We are dark chocolate lovers so the majority of this is made from @hotelchocolat Easter eggs 🥰 My favourite brownie cake ended up being the one made with the dark chocolate ginger egg as it gives a warm taste of ginger after the first bite. Topped with their dark chocolate bunnies which even held their shape after baking we have a lot to look forward to once defrosted when the temptation is too much!

When you’re on holiday there’s nothing nicer t

When you’re on holiday there’s nothing nicer than waking up in your own time, listening to the birds singing, with the early morning sun streaming through the window having breakfast in bed and reading your favourite newspaper ❤️ Today I did some styling for an airbnb apartment and decided on this breakfast in bed scene as it’s exactly what I would be craving if I was on holiday 🥰 Photographed with Belgian waffles, freshly made coffee and today’s @nytimes
Also delighted to just about make the @freshlypictured and @dantesceramics #bedbreakfastchallenge before it’s time to go to bed and wake up again 😉🥰

One of my favourite breakfasts is Dutch Baby panca

One of my favourite breakfasts is Dutch Baby pancake. Not too sweet (as there’s no sugar) it is a mix between a pancake and a Yorkshire pudding. Baked with berries and sprinkled with desiccated coconut it has the Sunday morning wow factor ♥️

When you find blood oranges at the end of the seas

When you find blood oranges at the end of the season 🧡

I don’t know what it is but I always seem to leave seasonal cooking until the last minute. I have great aspirations when the season starts but then I often miss out because I think the season lasts forever 😆 So imagine my delight when I found my local veggie shop selling blood oranges! I just had to make this chicken, sweet potato and blood orange casserole which I make every year but never get around to photographing 🧡🍊

Valentine’s Day was always special in our house

Valentine’s Day was always special in our house because it was my mum’s birthday 💗 We always used to joke to her that her birthday flowers were the most expensive of anyone’s all year. So to us Valentine’s Day was always spent as a family together celebrating 😍 Now she’s no longer here while Valentine’s starts off a little sad I am thankful of the love for family celebrations she passed on to me and I wouldn’t celebrate it with anyone else 💗

Photos are of a pink latte I made yesterday with @rawnice pink pitaya powder and oat milk. I left my camera at my Dads house by mistake 🤦🏼‍♀️ so these are taken on my iPhone 🥰
