Welcome
I'm Fallon, and I specialize in food styling, project photography, food photography and recipe development. We lived on the tiny island of Okinawa, Japan for several years and I found myself cooking in a very small kitchen without an oven, but with easy access to incredibly fresh fruits, vegetables and some of the best seafood in the world. As a girl who used her oven almost every day, my cooking style had to adapt and this was an eye opening, educational experience that taught me so much about food and the many ways that you can accomplish beautiful dishes from around the world.
Chocolate Stout Brownies with Walnut Crumble
A good stout beer is full of chocolatey, coffee flavors with hints of caramel and bitterness and what these flavors do to a brownie is something that should not be missed… Simmering the beer down a bit helps to intensify those flavors and bring beautiful moisture to this brownie batter, but the beer is not the only fabulous thing about this recipe. These brownies are full of a sweet and crunchy walnut crumble that push them straight over the top. If you have been looking for a very special brownie recipe then you have just found it. Let’s get started… Begin by simmering 14 ounces of your favorite stout beer over medium heat until it has reduced to about 1/2 cup in volume. This should take about 15 minutes. Once the beer is simmering, reduce the heat to just enough that it will continue to simmer, but won’t bubble violently.
Orange Poppyseed Rolls
A classic batch of cinnamon rolls are great, but they require a few separate steps and some planning ahead. So, what are you supposed to do when you want or even need a sweet and sticky breakfast pastry sooner than later? You make these orange poppyseed rolls and get down to business within the hour. Let’s get started… First things first, we are going to combine 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of poppyseeds and 2 tablespoons of fresh orange zest until the poppyseeds are evenly distributed and the orange zest has kissed all of the sugar granules with its citrusy goodness. This beautiful combination will be the filling for our rolls and the only other things you will need is some softened butter and puff pastry. Puff pastry is the key to making these rolls quickly plus, filling and rolling puff pastry in a similar way to traditional
Grilled Cheese & Roasted Tomato Soup
When a discussion about comfort food is in full swing there is a good chance that grilled cheese and tomato soup will be mentioned. It is a classic loved by people of all ages and whether you are sad, sick or lonely, grilled cheese and tomato soup will make you feel all better. When making something as popular as this delicious duo, if you don’t have a family recipe in your repertoire then it will probably only take you about 30 seconds to find one online. With a short list of common ingredients and super basic instructions, making a great grilled cheese and tomato soup doesn’t require a strict recipe, but this is what I do when I start craving those super comforting vibes. Let’s get started… Roasting your tomatoes, onions and garlic for the soup not only brings out their very best flavors, but it also lets the oven
Green Apple Pecan & Goat Cheese Salad
Have you ever had a simple salad at a restaurant that really blew your mind? Like how can so many flavors and textures be packed into a salad with just a few ingredients? Well, this is one of those salads and it takes like 5 minutes to make (including the dressing!)… Let’s get started… All you’ll need is some baby arugula, granny smith apples, candied pecans and goat cheese… at least for the salad part. Simple ingredients, each with their own huge impact. For the dressing, you will want to whip up my maple dijon dressing, which combines olive oil, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, garlic, salt and black pepper. Simply delicious. This recipe is so simple that it really requires no order or technique. Just top a big pile of baby arugula with thinly sliced green apples, roughly chopped candied pecans and crumbled goat cheese.

I absolutely love my Victoria Cookware cast iron skillets. They are durable, easy to clean, maintain wonderfully even heat and are oven safe.
If you make smoothies, sauces, salsa or soup then you should definitely have a great blender in your kitchen and I love my Ninja.
A kitchen scale makes a huge difference in baked goods and weighing your ingredients can ensure delicious results.
