\"\"The photos here are all of food I had in my kitchen: cakes and pastries I have made, vegetables ready to be cooked, or finished dishes. Taking photos in restaurants is rarely successful: the light isn’t good enough and there is too much clutter on the table to make the food stand out. Here is a basket of peppers – yellow romano <\/em>peppers, a head of garlic and small green padron <\/em>peppers.  The larger ones need roasting, the small ones just need to be tossed in olive oil and fried quickly. About one in ten is quite spicy.<\/p>\n

Now here’s something that needs no cooking at all: a simple salad of rocket leaves and sliced Dutch cheese. I bought the thin slices as I wanted to make cut outs, hence the hands and feet! It’s not just children who like to play with their food – something like this makes people smile. These dishes don’t need time or skill:  just an eye for arrangement. The way you put something on the plate makes all the difference.<\/p>\n

Here is a collection of pictures I have taken for the blog – sweet and savoury. Hover over the centre of each photo to see what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n
