Orange Carrot Turmeric Smoothie

August 8, 2020 by The Gourmet Lens Leave a Comment

Two jars of orange carrot turmeric smoothie with a large slice of orange surrounded by orange flowers

This orange carrot turmeric smoothie is a winner. I call it my sunshine smoothie as it has all the flavours of the Mediterranean and so much more. Blended with Mediterranean spices, succulently sweet oranges and ripened mango, you can really imagine what sunshine tastes like!

Living in Spain and used to picking oranges from my garden I never take sweet oranges for granted. I remember the first time moving to Spain and being in awe of oranges growing on the trees. I wanted to pick them all right there and then! Always buy good quality oranges especially when they are the hero ingredient. Bitter oranges can make or break a recipe ! If I have to buy oranges out of season I buy the best quality even if they are more expensive. It’s totally worth it!

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. Th 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 recently made the switch from Lightroom to Captu I recently made the switch from Lightroom to Capture One and am so glad I did! I was scared to do it and was sitting on it for months instil I took the plunge last week. I spent the whole week studying it and am just about getting to grips with it. It gives you so much more control over your food photography and can save a photo you think is heading for the delete button. So don’t wait just do it 😍

I’m in love with strawberry season 🍓 While we 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 😉 😍

If you’re spending hours on a photo shoot and pr If you’re spending hours on a photo shoot and producing one or two photos then you’re doing it wrong. I used to spend so much time and end up with one or two instagrammable photos. Over the years I’ve learnt you can get at least 5 to 10 shots that take minimal time and minimal effort. This photoshoot took less than 10 minutes ♥️

It’s World Bee Day today so what better way to c 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? 🍯
