We Season All

Part III: I have my favorites too. In this photo the sake cups that I bought during my trip to Japan and these beautiful ramen bowls ( This was a incredible gift, from Japan as well, and from one of my clients, that became a friend, when I used to work as a personal chef for ). Yes I am attached to this material stuff, but they carry love and beautiful memories attached to them as well ❤️.

Part I: Plantain saga. I love plantains or as some people weirdly refer, at least for me, as "cooking bananas" 🤔 ... Plátanos are very versatile and can be used in many dishes...

The idea is always to get out of your comfort zone...

Short season for peaches this year. Still one of the most delicious and juicy fruits that you can have. If you are in the Okanagan run and guarantee yours 😉

Warm banana bread with black coffee is always a win !!

When your neighbors at the farmers market raise the bar for cheesecake. This made my taste buds so happy and my food photography job pretty easy 😉 Banana and caramel cheesecake...

Yes I know it would be nicer if I poured the dressing, and yes it's really hard to be the hands, the photographer at the same time and still get a shot sharp enough in low light... Maybe next time. But for now the shot actually looks pretty decent, right? 😉

Never too late for patterns 😉

Is not about followers, is about skill! IG basically killed all the opportunities for photography around here. Doesn't matter, we still keep producing, we just don't share or use the app that often anymore. I really don't care about videos, how many likes or shares I have. For the ones who like and/or need this, enjoy the platform. Not judgment just my cup of tea😉🍷

The beauty of coronation grapes. Fresh pick from one of my favorite local sources of produce around Kelowna. Yes, my levels of glucose must be skyrocketing, but I am damm happy right now. 😁🍇

Stocking my freezer with all this sweet beauties. Who loves to add some local grow blackberries in your homemade smoothies 🙋‍♀️? Plus, when I am stocking my freezer I put 1 in the container and 2 in my mouth. I think is a fair deal 🤫 😜 I love fruits, all of them, even durian 😬

I've tried Haskap berries for the first time and they are just incredible. Beautiful shape, color and delicious sweet and sour taste. I've been working at the farmers market through this summer. It's been a great opportunity to get in touch with local producers and trying different fruits and vegetables. Plus, I have the chance to take beautiful shots and have delicious feast after 😉 This produce is from Indigo Valley Farm, BC.

Pasta power!!! I am back to the gym and one of the biggest reasons is because I can eat whatever I want 😂😂 I love carbs and could eat pasta every single day. Specially when the pasta is beautiful and delicious like this one...

I really love summer. I love the fresh fruit available and I specially love peach season 🍑 Unfortunately this season brings mixed feelings. We are suffering with the smoke, coming from the fires. We have around 300 active fires happening right now, just in the province, most of the at the Okanagan. It's insane!! We were expecting the fires, but it's still very sad to see all this people, evacuated from their homes. All the animals with no places to escape and thousands and thousands of hectares burned. We need to be conscious of our choices. We are responsible for all these fires. Mother nature is punishing us and she is right. We deserve it. 😔

Refreshing options to be the heat doesn't need to be full of refined sugar or fat to be delicious (just to be clear, I love a creamy ice cream as well 🤭). This is the final shot of the orange and honey granita/granite that I did last week. I still have some in my freezer. Maybe it's time for a cocktail party?I think this granita can become a delicious ingredient for a fake Margarita 🤔🤤 Cheers summer 🍹

06/18/2021

I've learned that we can gather a couple of nice shots during the process of producing the final one... I had a great natural light, perfect food texture and one hand full of cuts and burns. Chefs hands carry a lot of stories and beautiful scars 🤷‍♀️😉 ❤️

06/16/2021

Who here loves granita 🙋‍♀️??? I had some extra orange at my place (I love fresh pressed juice) so I decide to prepare some granita. Basically "shaved" ice with sugar and juice. You can play around with flavours and adapt for healthier options. Mine was orange, infused honey and fresh mint. I love summer and I love create new recipes to beat the heat 🍹😎

Picnic season 🙌🙌 When you don't have delicious picnic boxes from .vancouver in your city, you "make" your own 😂 I am working in something new (can't say yet) 😉, but I am paring with different products to see how it goes. This weekend we paired with some refreshing and delicious wine from . Their labels are super creative and beautiful. , but when the product is good, we spread the news ☺️

It takes 1 friendly neighbor, 1act of kindness and 1 delicious bread for you to fall in love with a bakery. It's impossible not to love a perfect fresh baked bread. This one from , Alpine Bread. Thank you neighbor for the lovely welcoming gift 🙌 Perfect gift, perfect shot!

Testing different recipes to beat the heat in Kelowna. More tropical popsicles coming 😋 For this recipe I used coconut milk, cashews and infused honey from (hibiscus and rosehip). They turn out AMAZING!!! I would like to give a shout out for this canadian female owned honey company. We got a jar, as a gift, and it's soooo tasteful. We love it and we want more 😁 ❤️

06/04/2021

Time for popsicles 🙌🙌 It's damm hot here in Kelowna this week, and It's always hard to find healthy and refreshing popsicles around. For this one, nothing fancy, just coconut yogurt, mango, honey and pineapple juice. No preservatives, no refined sugar, no dairy, just love 🌈 This shades? Lovely afternoon sun in my living room blinds 😉 Stay hydrated!

Fresh Pea shoots from the local farmers market. Luckily, I have twice a week, just in the corner of my place 🙌 Eat your greens 🥗

05/28/2021

Summer vibes is just in the corner! 😎🙌 We had great news in BC this week. Fingers crossed that everything goes according to the plan. Time for ice cream, sun and trip plans 🚙 We are just counting the days to be able to explore this beautiful country again ❤️🇨🇦 Together we are stronger. Stay safe and keep up the good work, we are almost in the end of this nightmare 🙏.

It's been a while since a posted here... A lot of stuff, good stuff, happened during these last couple of months. I am still trying to organize myself to be fully back and post more work... For now, I just want to share these beauties and the amazing light that I had in my place today! Maybe this will be the beginning of more changes. Specially in the way that I take my photos... 🙌🤞 Missed you guys, A LOT ❤️ Happy to be temporarily back 😊😘

🇨🇦 My heart is with my friends, family and all the people that are suffering with Covid in Brazil. It's a shame that my beautiful country is losing this fight against this horrible pandemic. I am having lack of creativity at the moment. I just can't keep up with so much sad news surrounding my IG. A couple of weeks ago I created this photo, with the intention of showing the mixture of cultures in my house. My partner and I come from totally different backgrounds. There's a massive gap between the situation in our countries right now. I hope my people can open their eyes and see what his people, with the support of their amazing prime minister, were able to do. Together we can do anything 🇧🇷 I am praying for you Brazil. I left to look for better opportunities, but my heart will always be with you 😢🌹

Playing around with some delicious local jam, that I friend told me not to long ago. This weekend we went for a ride and we had the chance to meet the owner and his beautiful paradise. Had some delicious wine and purchased some amazing artisanal seasonal jams. Thank you Patrick, we had a great time🌹

🇨🇦 I have to say: eggs are very photogenic 🍳🤷‍♀️ I did a egg photo session a while ago and capture amazing shades, colors and textures. They are far away to be boring, you just need to be bold and let the creativity flow...
🇧🇷 Tenho que dizer, ovos são extremamente fotogênicos. Eu fiz uma sessão fotográfica com ovos a um tempo atrás e o resultado foi um show de cores, texturas e sombras. Ovos estão longes de serem sem graça, você só tem que deixar a criatividade fluir

🇨🇦 Creamy corn cake with a fresh cup of coffee makes my brazilian heart, and belly 😜, very very happy ☺️

🇧🇷 Bolo de milho cremoso com café coado, fresquinho, faz meu coração brasileiro, muito, muito feliz 🌽❤️
