Salmon ceviche

I just came across this delicious-looking recipe over at the Grey Matter Concept blog.  Follow Suwandi’s detailed journey as she shares learning about photography and food styling, it makes a really interesting read.

Here’s the recipe for Suwandi’s Salmon ceviche with alfalfa sprouts and white radish pickle.  Yum!

Preparation     

Cut the fresh salmon into cubelets.

Prepare the base layer with quite a dense layer of alfalfa sprouts.

Place a couple of slices of radish on top of the alfalfa sprouts so that the salmon pieces can have flat base to sit on.       

Add a toothpick with a piece of salmon cubelet and a radish slice into the verrine as decoration.

Finally squeeze a generous amount of lemon juice and vinegar mixture on the salmon cubelets.

Set for Spring

Who would’ve thought oranges could be quite so appealing?  If this doesn’t put you in the ’spring mood’, I don’t know what will.  Not too long now until the weather starts to get a little better here (above freezing at least, please!!)

These fabulous images have been taken by the very talented food stylist Aran Goyoaga over at Cannelle and Vanille.  Aran is a pastry chef and creates her own delicious recipes. 

I love the strong colour she has used here, particularly the blue against the orange…

See here for Aran’s recipe for Blood Orange sorbet amoungst other tempting treats!

A gingerbread for every occasion

I love the modern artistic talents of food stylist Victoria Granof.  As if food can’t be tempting enough, Granof makes it all the more so!!  How cute are these gingerbreads, below?

If you’re feeling particularly peckish, how about tucking into this 16 foot tall gingerbread mansion created by Disney chefs?!  No one does it better than the Americans right?!!

Inspiration is all around…

“Inspiration is all around”, my art teacher used to say, and she was right.  Most of us are guilty of taking things for granted and forget that, in such a materialistic world, sometimes just the smallest of things can bring so much pleasure. 

These delicious-looking buns are a great example of how we can take inspiration from nature…..
