Strawberry Pavlova cake

May 9, 2019 By travellingoven 2 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)

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….

Radicchio, citrus and mozzarella salad

February 13, 2019 By travellingoven 2 Comments

It’s been way too long since I posted a savory recipe on the blog but recently I’ve been inspired by some beautiful fresh produce I got at the farmers’ market and I knew I wanted to make a colourful and refreshing winter salad so here it is!

This salad has so many wonderful flavours and textures, from intense and slightly bitter taste of radicchio and endive, sweetness of oranges, creamy mozzarella, crunchy walnuts and delicious lemon, honey and olive oil dressing. I eat this salad as a main dish and don’t need anything else with it. Ok, I won’t say no to a nice slice of a crusty bread! 🙂

Red wine poached pears

So we are two weeks into the new year and I still have to remind myself that it’s 2019 lol, it will take a few weeks more and than I’ll finally get it! How did the year start for you? Over the holidays I really took the time for myself and after a long time allowed myself to slow down, have lazy days doing nothing except being cozy on the sofa, watching movies, drinking tea, eating cookies, going on evening walks… I really needed that and it’s great when you realise that you actually don’t have to do a lot of things that you stressed about like your life depends on it. It doesn’t and it’s ok to listen to yourself and slow down when needed. As a result of all that, after the holidays I actually felt a wave of creative energy and spent a lot of time working, creating, shooting. Hopefully this phase will last! 🙂
