In My Dreams, There is a Cake in a Forest.

Just out of nowhere, I began to have visualisations of a lone cake in a forest. Recently, Matt and I shot images for our wedding invitations in a pine plantation about an hour out of Melbourne, and little did I know I would be back assembling a three tiered cake amongst the rows and rows of trees. {Um…isn’t that what artists do, of course I was going to be back?}

I kept having this dream about shooting a cake in a forest, and I kept telling everyone that it was going to be my next project. Saying it out loud sounded, well ludicrous – and I loved it. Imagery of a cake dwarfed by the towering rows of straight pines, yet having enough magic for you to instantly connect to.

Finding Breakfast: Chocolate Ombré Pancakes

This being my first post in this new series, Finding Breakfast, it’s probably a good idea to introduce what this is all about. I’ve been sitting on this idea for a while now, and these shots are close to a year old, (really – I waited that long to share this?). I am not quite sure what I was waiting for, but the time just didn’t feel right.

Now that I have this new space to play in where I am focusing on food stories, the project just felt into place and I am glad I waited. This will be an ongoing project and a journey of its own. I am hoping to post monthly on this series, saying that out load makes me feel more committed and a little scared as I feel worked to the brim all the time!….

Typically granita is a semi-frozen dessert made from sugar, water and various flavourings, but Lizzy likes to make hers from nothing but real fruit. This recipe is basically three ingredients, and they are all fresh. No additives, no added sugars, just fruit.

When Lizzy is at her local farmers market, she stocks up on cheap, in-season fruit, watermelon and peaches being her favourite. She then dices them up and freezes them until she is ready to make granita. It’s a quick and healthy version that won’t be making you take that trip to the freezer every half hour to stir up the ice crystals.

Skin Food Smoothie: Paleo Reset by Lizzy Marsh

Slowly I am more and more getting into smoothies. I love veggies, but when it comes to fruits – I am down right picky with what I enjoy eating. I have always thought about smoothies as being a mixture of milk and fruit, and that never excites me
