- 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 📷 - . Remember these mushrooms i showed you the other day on stories? If you now know me a little bit, you should be sure I would take a snap of them before making something absolutely delicious with them! ☺️ cause you should know how much i love ingredient shots! To me, ingredient shots are by far the most simple but so powerful photos one can take! Everything in the kitchen starts with good quality produce! I remember I asked the question on a story what to make with these beauties. Pop on my stories in a while where i will be revealing what happened with them.. Have a beautiful Friday! 😘

Planning to bake some 𝐤𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐬 (𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐛𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐤𝐢) this coming long weekend and enjoy them for breakfast with homemade fruit jams or nut butters! What would you pair them with? Prefer them plain or with a filling!?

- 𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐲, 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚! - . Hi friends! 👋 Last Sunday i went a bit crazy and decided to make my own pasta for the first time without any mixer or pasta machine! Just my hands and a plaster! It can be tricky the first times as all you need to master the process is to learn how the dough feels and where you wanna go! Of course the consistency wasn’t perfect the first time, probably needed more moisture so to be more flexible, had to work those muscles 💪 💪 didn’t want to give up. And thankfully I didn’t cause the result was a delicious pasta dish and that feeling I made sth from scratch 😊 A big thanks to my friend/pasta master Teti @tetisflakes for her support! Can’t wait to try again and again...

Happy new week! 👋 If you caught my stories last week, I made a vegetarian Greek pastitsio-style bake. Greek pastitsio has one layer of pasta, one layer of beef mince tomato sauce & a rich bechamel sauce on top sprinkled with grated cheese for a nice golden finish! However, i wanted a vegetarian & DF version so I substituted the beef sauce with a mushroom & lentil sauce (prepared exactly the same way i would prepare the beef sauce). I also substituted the bechamel sauce with a DF version, used no butter or cow’s milk, but olive oil & oat milk instead, some nutritional yeast instead of cheese and the outcome was a rich, super creamy and delicious sauce indeed which took a nice golden color when baked even if i didnt cover it with cheese! Some of you asked me for the bechamel recipe so i quickly share it here: 𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: 100ml olive oil (light) 100gr all purpose flour 1lt oat milk ~5tbsp nutritional yeast Ground nutmeg to taste 3 egg yolks ( you can easily leave out for a vegan version ) Salt & pepper Heat the olive oil in a medium pot then add the flour and cook over a medium to low heat for 1-2 mins stirring with a whisk. Gradually add the milk and keep whisking. Once all the milk has been added, simmer gently whisking at all times, for 5mins or until you have a smooth and thick sauce. Remove the pot from the heat.Add the nutritional yeast and ground nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Try the mix and adjust with more seasoning to your preference. Add the egg yolks and stir well to combine. The sauce is ready to use it in your recipe!

- 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬, 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬, 𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧 - . Here’s an ode to the summer nights when enjoying cocktails at picturesque terraces on Greek islands! It’s not the alcohol that im missing though ( since being a mother haven’t had any for 1,5 yrs now ) it’s more that holiday feeling im missing! Greece is experiencing the first heatwave of the year too early, and found myself a bit nostalgic thinking of those dreamy summer nights, wondering if we ll be able to live them this year... but the most important thing is that we all stay safe.. for the many summer days & nights that will come! . One more entry to @bealubas @twolovesstudio #belightinspireddrinks and @luciebeck #onlyonedrink challenges! So amazed by all the beautiful entries, drink photography is a big subject of food photography on its own and find it so impressive! I need to practice more though and definitely better glassware 😅

- 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 & 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚 - . Hi friends 👋 there’s nothing more satisfying that making a mess! 😄 Drinks are a difficult subject to photograph, even scary sometimes... you got to be quick, very well organized, have your moves very well planned, be precise, use the light in the smartest way, be lucky (especially if you want to shoot a splash like i did here!). Hurry, the ice is melting, your drink doesn’t look fresh anymore! Adrenaline! A shot that i wanted to practice since a long time ago and the drinks photography challenges running by @bealubas @twolovesstudio #belightinspireddrinks and @luciebeck #onlyonedrink were the perfect motivation i needed to try it! Took a big number of shots and made this drink 3 times before i am happy with the result! Having a mop handy is recommended😆 How do you find it?!
