CLICK: Pasta in the Raw
2007-11-20 00:45:00 I love handling raw fruit, vegetables and food products, when photographing. It's simply exciting and challenging to see how I can capture something like a banana or figs, spinach or, of course, eggs on camera. There are so many possibilities to make a boring fruit or vegetable look interesting. My aim almost always is to use bare minimum effects. The star should be the product or motive.

2007-11-18 12:00:00 ...keeps my blues away! I am keeping with the theme of using food for my bouquets.

Spanish Flavours: Roasted Pumpkin & Mushroom Salad
2007-11-14 12:15:00 Blogging does have so many positive sides to it. I've often said this - it's about the people you meet, the experiences you gather, the motivation and trying out things you would not have dared to before.

Dubai - A Booming City
2007-11-13 07:36:00 A stuning warm night - the view from my bedroom I can't say I do not slightly enjoy the impressive and envious looks from friends when I tell them I am going to be visiting my parents in Dubai for a few weeks. In all honesty I am a modest person - but there is a certain thing that fills me with pride when I see their expressions. What I can almost always expect is the one I question I am always More About: City

Vegetable Polenta Gratin with Manchego
2007-10-10 15:15:00 Just like asparagus epitomizes Spring in terms of food, for me the pumpkin portrays the perfect Fall vegetable.

Another great new stall at our Farmer's Market is a cheese stall, offering an interesting variety of cheeses from all More About: Vegetable

Just CLICK it!
2007-10-01 14:32:00 Pictures speak a thousand words. A phrase I find so true. Imagine a world without colors, expressions and temperament. Imagine seeing something and not being able to capture that particular moment. Imagine a food blog without luscious photos that make your mouth water. It's hard isn't it? When I started this food blog my photos were rather mediocre and although I do not think they are More About: Click

The sun was shining in a crystal, clear, blue sky and with temperatures between 25 and almost 30 degrees C it was almost like one last trip into summer. An Indian Summer! We decided to visit our friends who live about 2 hours drive from here, in Bavaria in a beautiful mountain region. After More About: Honey , Yogurt , Peach , Almonds , Grilled

A Culinary Delicacy
2007-09-21 20:51:00 I absolutely adore Figs. They are a culinary delicacy par excellence. Part of the wonder of the fig comes from its unique taste and texture. Figs are lusciously sweet and feature a complex texture that combines the chewiness of their flesh, the smoothness of their skin, and the crunchiness of their seeds. Growing up I used to eat figs like others eat apples and ever since my sweetest Ivonne More About: Culinary , Deli
Opposites Attract: Peaches & Tomatoes
2007-09-19 13:55:00 An unusual combination you think. Well not entirely - as we all know opposites have always found a way to harmonize with each other in perfect unity. It's true with us humans and it certainly is the truth with food. What I love about food is that we have the opportunity to test and try - experiment with several ingredients - until we find a pairing that fits together so well that one would More About: Peaches , Opposites , Tomatoes

Home: Accepting Autumn
2007-09-12 15:30:00 Autumn does have its beautiful aspects. Ever since I started taking photography a little more seriously I have really come to appreciate seasons under a totally different light. Colors are more vivid, things that would previously go unnoticed, stand out in all their beauty. It's just so hard to accept it straight after summer - and so soon. I decided to bring in the rich Autumn colors and More About: Home , Autumn , Accept
Souper: Red Bell Pepper Soup
2007-09-10 08:00:00 I am still having trouble accepting the fact that we are heading into colder weather. Wasn't it just yesterday when I was sharing some lovely spring and summer shots with you all?

On Saturday we went shopping for More About: Soup , Pepper , Bell

2007-09-07 12:03:00 There's a slight nip in the air and the temperatures are hardly rising above 15 degrees C. Autumn's around the corner. Each year at around this time of year I feel rather melancholic - saying goodbye to Summer in favor for colder days is never easy for me. Being down with a flu at the moment does not brighten up the situation either. Having said that, Autumn does have it's up sides too. I More About: Fruit , Passion , Orange , Passi
