This turquoise-rimmed bowl is my current favourite

This turquoise-rimmed bowl is my current favourite prop. It frames everything so beautifully.⁠ Have to make a huge effort not to put it in every single photo I take.⠀
⁠⠀⠀
What's your favourite prop at the moment? Tag me in a post you've used it in so I can see!⠀
⠀
These turmeric roast potatoes are earthy, spicy and very, very crispy. Sprinkle with chilli, mint and sea salt and dip in cooling, creamy yoghurt.

This sizzling, crunchy, vibrant side dish is ready

This sizzling, crunchy, vibrant side dish is ready in 5 minutes. If you’ve got the barbecue going this week, grill this. Sear for a few minutes, then season with soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds and hot chilli. ⁠⠀
⠀
What vegetarian delights are you barbecuing this summer? Anything delicious?⠀
⁠⠀
Styling tip – If you’re photographing a dish, watch it like a hawk as you cook. Learn when it’s at its visual best and how colour in food reacts to heat and other cooking processes.⁠ A few seconds can be the difference between fresh, bright, green and an unappetising yellow-brown mess.⁠

These sweet potato and halloumi rosti make a fabul

These sweet potato and halloumi rosti make a fabulous brunch, perhaps topped with a few slices of avocado or a runny poached egg. The salty halloumi contrasts beautifully with the sweet potato, fried in a little olive oil until frazzled and crisp.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The vibrant purple salt is from @tasmanseasalt – I visited their operation in Tasmania last winter. Harvested from the incredible blue waters of the east coast, this striking version gets its colour from Tasmanian wild pepperberries, a very special spice that grows in the region.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This image was my first time using a new photography background – this time a worn silver baking tray sourced from a local pizzeria. I love how the cool silver really makes the orange pop. Have you found any cool new backgrounds recently?

Happy Saturday! I have returned from an Insta-brea

Happy Saturday! I have returned from an Insta-break. Very relaxing it was too. Do you ever take a break from Instagram? Do you feel guilty when you do?

Seasonal minestrone is one of my favourite dishes. My spring/summer version is a riot of green.⁠
⁠
First onion, fennel and celery, sautéed until rich and caramelised, then asparagus, spinach, cavolo nero, peas and broad beans, all cooked until just tender. ⁠
⁠
Dollops of fresh basil pesto. A generous dusting of salty Pecorino Romano cheese. A drizzle of shiny, fruity olive oil.⁠ Yum.
