Figs oat bars

September 3, 2019 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

September has arrived exactly how it should, with cool winds and first rain in a long time. You know the one that approaches slowly, with lightning and thunders from great distance, the shift in the air, sound of tree branches starting swaying in the wind, slight shivers you feel when the temperature drops… For me it feels like coming home. I don’t know what it is about Autumn and Winter that puts my soul in its natural state, comfortable, familiar, comforting. It could be the slight melancholy and romantic character of these seasons that matches my personality, the beauty nature gifts us colouring the world in colourful but still subtle and calming palettes, excitement that can compare to the one of new beginnings…

Rustic apricot galette

July 9, 2019 By travellingoven 2 Comments

Three words needed to improve your day? Rustic apricot galette! 😀 When you have a blog and want to post something, at times you feel pressure to write something incredibly smart or inspiring. And there are times when you actually do that. And sometimes it’s just….blank, you know. Not much to say or not something you want to share with the world (ever or just yet) or you just don’t feel inspired. And sometimes you just want to post your photos whether it’s a travel story or a recipe or something third.

Many times I decided not to post for the very same reason, I felt like I don’t have the right words to accompany the photos or that nobody will be interested in what I have or don’t have to say. But you know what, I’ll try not to do that anymore and if I have a photo-story or a recipe or something I want to share, I’ll just do that. In the end, it’s my little corner of internet, right? And it makes me so happy to share it with you! 🙂

I do have in my plans to start writing some more personal posts too and different photo projects and I’m excited about that new chapter but this time it will be just a simple and very delicious Rustic apricot galette and I hope that’s ok!

Strawberry Pavlova cake

May 9, 2019 By travellingoven 4 Comments

I’m really enjoying the strawberry season and eating them almost every day, mostly fresh or in smoothies for breakfast (like this Strawberry banana smoothie) or as a special little treat in the form of S tr awberry banana ice cream. But I had a cake on my mind these days and thought what better combination than light and fluffy Pavlova with sweet juicy strawberries! That is a cake that is great for any occasion and even if it’s simple to make, it has that wow effect and you can be sure that your family/guests/yourself will love it, specially if they like strawberries and who doesn’t, right?! 🙂

Dubrovnik, Croatia (without tourist crowds)

April 22, 2019 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

First of all, I hope you all had a happy, peaceful and relaxing Easter weekend! And if you don’t celebrate Easter I hope you had a lovely weekend no matter how you spent it.

I’ve been such a bad blogger lately as I couldn’t find any time for creating interesting content and posting regularly. I do miss that but at the same time I’m very grateful that I’ve been so busy with my food photography work and I spent the last month in my hometown Dubrovnik shooting for various clients. Very busy time without days off and at times I felt a bit overwhelmed with everything but not complaining as I’m happy I can do what I love. After all, photography is so much more than work to me, it’s my passion, my way of life and something that brings me great joy and gets me through the tough times….
