I’m not a professional photographer. But I love taking pictures, mostly of the food that I whip up in the kitchen for my family. Our dinner becomes my inspiration. My aim is to snap a shot of a beautiful meal, and make the picture speak. It should talk about the texture of the ingredients, and it should capture the flavor and aroma of the dish. It needs to make its viewers craving, and give them the urge to run for their apron and whisk, and try my recipes.
Honestly, I’m probably not always successful at this. But I do put in my best effort! I started my food blog because of that. I like to express my creative side with photos. And also because I love cooking and baking for my family and friends.
My quick and easy recipes, mostly about Italian food, want to show my readers that even with a busy schedule, they can find the time to prepare a homemade and wholesome dinner to share with their loved ones. Per Italian tradition, I find extremely it important to end my day at the dinner table with my family, enjoying a tasty meal and a fun conversation.
So here are my photos. And now you can tell me: are these pictures speaking to you?!?

Today, I want to show you that you don’t need to be a pastry chef to bake a deliciously tempting dessert
These beautiful and elegant apple roses are the perfect example
If you check out the steps of my recipe, you will see that it’s not that hard to make this dessert
All you need to do is stretch out and cut the puff pastry, spread with apricot preserve, place the thin and soft apple slices on the dough
Sprinkle them with cinnamon (of course!) and roll up the pastry
After 45 minutes in the oven, you will have an amazing and deliciously healthy dessert
I promise you: yours will be just as beautiful as mine
You will not only be impressed by the look of these apple roses, but also by their taste: naturally sweet, organic apple slices rolled up in perfectly crispy and buttery puff pastry
