On the plate

Food here in Australia is amazing! You can get such great, fresh produce, especially now in Summer. One of my all-year favourites is an avocado toast but even this simple dish you can get in all sorts of varieties: on different sorts of sourdough w/ ricotta/lemon, coriander/chili or just with fresh sweet tomatoes and rocket .... and always w/ olive oil salt and pepper.

#1 Christmas Eve Lunch
#2 baked beans w/ fennel, chili and parsley
#3-5 making sandwiches (harissa w/ rocket/raddishes & avocado w/ salami/cheddar)
#6 Ottolenghi inspired dinner
#7 sourdough toast, ricotta, avocado, tomato and rocket w/ lemon

Glow

It is Summer. I drink hot tea to cool down and look forward to next week. Some days off to relax, read books, work on little projects and to feel salty water on your skin drying in the sun after a cold swim in the sea.

I was looking through the photos of the last year and will post a little review in the next couple of days.

So long, here are some photos I shot with my pentax which I got out of its box after not using it much.

It is Summer and the city is glowing.

Some more black and white from the beach.

black & white

Despite the fact that the city is getting more and more colorful I decided to shoot a black and white film which was laying around here for a while...I still think the beauty of the beach comes through very well. 

>> more color here. 

Hope you guys had a great weekend....

More light

It is sometimes a weekend routine which allows me to let the stress of a week go. Waking up early going for a run or walk, enjoying the day and the small things of it....

I adore the pictures of the latest Kinfolk lunch in San Francisco, it makes me dream of having such an event in Sydney one day....

Autumn colors

It is a sunny Sunday morning here in Sydney.
I picked up a new roll of film on Friday....I hope you enjoy the Autumn colors as much as I do. The light, the shapes, the browns, the changing leaves and different kinds of green. It is my favorite season....I love the the blue skies and the crisp air, wool tights and jumpers, warm soups...Before I moved here I would have never thought to live my Autumn love here, but I can :)

Food and a morning swim

It is a public holiday today here in Australia. I woke up super early, the sun just rose and beautiful light in my room. I really like the feel of a public holidays. I got ready and went out for a walk, got fresh caraway bread for a picnic later on, had a coffee at my favorite cafe and read in the new apartmento magazine. Such a good start for a day - and now off to a picnic with friends.

Here are some random photos from Easter - Fresh frittata from the pizza oven and my easter lunch plate with a piece of pumpkin which looks like a cloud (#1/2), me having a afternoon snack - radish and bread (#3), self-made swiss cheese buns (#4), the dog (#5), a beautiful, beautiful morning swim (#6).

A wonderful version of Midlake's Roscoe
