This wonderful pavlova with strawberries and raspberries is pure bliss on summer days. One of my favorite desserts of the season. Esta Pavlova de Morangos e Framboesas é pura felicidade nestes dias de verão. Uma sobremesa perfeita para esta estação, e para ser partilhada à mesa. Desde que tenho o meu novo Titanium Chef Baker XL da @kenwoodportugal que sigo encantanda em o usar, e em preparar merengues perfeitos e brilhantes, com a ajuda do batedor de pinha e a balança integrada EasyWeight, que tornam todo o processo muito fácil e prático. Já não passo sem ele, e sem ambas as taças de 5 e 7 lt e todos os acessórios integrados. Não se esqueçam que tenho um código de desconto de 10% que podem usar em qualquer robot de cozinha da Kenwood, válido até Outubro deste ano. Usem o código 'ananashortela' na vossa compra. A receita desta pavlova maravilhosa já está no blogue. #kenwoodportugal #titaniumchefbakerxl p u b . . . . . . . . . . . . #pavlova #summerpavlova #lifeandthyme #pursuepretty #farmtotable #dessert #deliciousfood #beautifulcakes #foodphotography #foodstyling #stillwithstories #still_life_gallery #foodartproject #foodartblog #thebakefeed #seasonalbaking #eatseasonal #createtoinspire

I'm so permeable to the weather. Summer days make me happy, and that makes my mood lighter in photos. I tend to be deeply moody around winter times, that I can't run away from. Heat wave is not here anymore, so I've been working so hard to get all things done, but sometimes I feel repetitive in scenes, in moods, in food, in work. Does it happen to you? Forcing my creativity when this happens is worse, so I try to get my mind to accept this naturally. Like it's summer time, take it easy girl. Embrace it and enjoy all you've got around. All the beloved fruits of the season, all the nature outdoors, and just be kind to yourself please. Eat pie, and then eat more pie if you wish. Scoop of icecream, not negotiable. Nectarine and raspberry pie in the making.

Slow weekends. Summer time cravings. Slowing down at the beach. Watching the waves go by. That scent of summer on your skin. Waiting for those wild colored sunsets with your feet on the sand. Delicious seafood that you eat by hand, and some white wine to refresh. It only gets better with homemade doughnuts filled with raspberry jam, that you devoure while watching old favorite movies. The soundtrack of these days. . . . . . . . . . . . . #doughnuts #homemadedoughnuts #raspberries #countrysidelife #foodphotography #foodstyling #summertime #deliciousfood #still_life_gallery #stillwithstories #simplerecipes #sweetcuisines #fromthegarden #farmtotable #darlingweekend #foodartproject #foodartblog #ofsimplethings #momentsofmine #pursuepretty

I created my food blog 11 years ago. I would never guess by that time, that it would be the beginning of a change in my life, in my career. It all happened in a natural way you see. I was a vet back then, and today I'm a food stylist and photographer. Sometimes it still feels strange to say it out loud. But I do love what I do. My journey was not easy at any point but here I am. With stories, food and frames to be shared. My creative and emotional side grew strong in me, I feel I have so much poetry inside to be told. I fall in love with things so often, with people, with projects, with work. I'm so grateful for it all. I don't know my final destination, I just wanna live the journey, this path I walk, feeding my soul with beauty and inspiration. It would never be a party without cake, so I baked this upside down plum cake. Celebrating the season and fresh produce from the orchard. The beauty of simple things. Recipe is already on the blog. Thank you for all your support here. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #cakesofinstagram #celebration #cakephotography #plumcake #seasonpoetry #seasonalfood #foodphotography #foodstyling #still_life_gallery #stillwithstories #flatlayfood #foodandflatlay #lifeandthyme #countrysidelife #ofsimplethings #pursuepretty #simplerecipes #simplecakes #thebakefeed #beautifulcakes
