Raw carrot, beetroot & red cabbage salad

April 11, 2016 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

Today’s post will be nice and short as I don’t have that much to write about. The weekend was spent mostly working as my husband was away again on a long business trip so I had a house to myself and most of the action was happening between my kitchen and the little corner where I normally shoot.

Besides for blog and my social media pages, I also shoot for stock and I work for a wonderful stock library called The Picture Pantry and you can see some of my work here. So this weekend there was roasting, baking, pans everywhere, mountains of dirty dishes, background boards lying all around the floor, every single kitchen cloth I own was dirty and if somebody was walking through those doors, they would think I’m a messy person and I’m actually just the opposite. I like order and like to keep things nice and organized and pretty. I will regularly by myself flowers just to make home prettier and will light candles in the evening even if it’s just me there watching TV. But there is one mess that I’m ok with and that’s a creative mess so when I’m working and shooting, than it’s kind of normal to have all that mess going on in my kitchen and living room. That’s probably the only part of this job that I would gladly give to somebody else, cleaning up after it’s all done but hey you gotta do what you gotta do! 🙂




Besides working I did manage to spend some nice time outside walking in the nature as the weather was finally warm and sunny. So after all the work and all the walking in the fresh air, I slept like a baby last night and that’s so rare lately as I normally have million thoughts going through my mind when I go to bed. Anyway, let’s go back to the recipe. It couldn’t be easier, you just grate (preferably in food processor as it’s much easier that way) some nice colorful raw veggies and you get this multivitamin healthy and fresh salad. If you normally eat carrots, beetroot and red cabbage cooked, I hope you’ll give this raw salad a try. It’s so good for you and it tastes great!

Shooting the cookbook and spending my work days cr Shooting the cookbook and spending my work days creating, doing what I love and sharing the same energy and passion with its author @andreapisac has been one of the highlights of this otherwise very difficult year for me. Very grateful that life sometimes when you are at low point sends you people who lift you up and inspire you. 
Beautiful and meaningful connections are such a wonderful thing…❤️ #cookbook #croatiandesserts

Ever tried bobići (or favete)? These little balls Ever tried bobići (or favete)? These little balls of sweetness are a true Dalmatian delight, especially around All Saints’ Day. 🍬
In Split, they’re called bobići, while in Šibenik, you’ll hear favete — but whatever the name, they’re closest to the Italian fave dei morti cookies. Made from almonds, egg whites, sugar, a dash of Maraschino, and a hint of lemon zest, they’re baked to soft, golden perfection. Perfect with a cup of coffee or even a little rakija to balance the sweetness! 
This recipe will be in the upcoming cookbook written by @andreapisac and shot by me, Croatian Desserts Vol. 2, currently in the making! ✨ Stay tuned!

The unique thing about this cookbook is that each step of the process is captured in photos so there is lots of flour, powdered sugar and messy bowls on the set! Stay tuned for more! 😄

Every summer I’m on the vacation in Dubrovnik, m Every summer I’m on the vacation in Dubrovnik, my hometown, at least one morning I get up really early, before the sunrise so I can take photos while most people are still asleep. However, I don’t do it only for the photos. Also, because I love to experience those moments when the streets are still empty and quiet, it feels very peaceful and good for my soul.✨✨✨
Photos and story are on the blog now, link in my profile…
This September besides work I want to focus on fin This September besides work I want to focus on finding joy and pleasure in little ‘ordinary’ everyday things… beauty in simplicity… food that I love, coffee with friends, genuine smiles, cooler nights, fresh breeze, gentle warmth instead of heat…✨✨✨
