Beautiful food is my passion. Whether I am cooking for friends and family or styling food for photo shoots, I love creating beautiful dishes that you know you will love before you even take a bite.
In addition to creating clean, modern and beautiful content for restaurants, businesses and ingredient companies, I also have been collecting my favorite recipes to share with you here on Espresso & Lime.
Whether you are here for the recipes or here to create beautiful content for your business, food has brought us together and this makes me happy.

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.
Classic Egg Salad
I think egg salad is seriously underrated. It is a creamy, flavorful spread that is packed with protein and requires very few ingredients to bring together. The only “negative” about making egg salad is peeling the hard boiled eggs. I have tried all of the hacks, but let’s face it, peeling a dozen or more hard boiled eggs is never a fun job. Thankfully, I have an easy work around that requires zero peeling. Let’s get started… One of my favorite things about updating this recipe was removing all of the directions about boiling, ice baths and peeling the eggs. We aren’t doing any of that today. We are simply cracking a dozen eggs into a lightly greased baking dish and baking the eggs in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until they are fully cooked. Once the eggs are cooked through, simple flip them out onto
Classic Tiramisu
Imagine this… tender ladyfingers soaked in espresso and layered with an airy whipped mascarpone cream. It is creamy, dreamy, rich and perfectly sweet. With flavors of espresso and vanilla, the light tanginess of mascarpone and a dusting of cocoa powder, tiramisu is the quintessential Italian dessert and I will always be quite smitten with it… There are many versions of tiramisu and while I am all for making a recipe your own, as an Italian, I feel that there are certain classic recipes that should not be tweaked and tiramisu is one of them. There are 7 classic ingredients – mascarpone, eggs, sugar, vanilla, espresso, ladyfingers and cocoa powder (8… if you want to add liquor). That’s it. No heavy cream, no chocolate (garnishing with chocolate is cool though) and no cooking. If you are nervous about not cooking the eggs, all I can say is that I have been
Creamy Banana Chia Pudding
Bananas are amazing. They are cheap, you can find them everywhere and they are full of fiber, potassium and myriad of vitamins. They are also super versatile being used in banana breads, smoothies, cookies and this fabulously creamy banana chia pudding. If you have any extra ripe bananas hanging around your kitchen, but do not feel like making them into a dessert then you should give this twist on chia pudding a try! You are going to love it… Let’s get started… Like all of my other chia pudding recipes, this one comes together very quick, but it does require some hydrating time. It can be ready in about 4 hours, but soaking overnight will give you the best result in both texture and nutritional benefits. In a large bowl, mash 2 large ripe bananas until smooth. Add 2 1/2 cups of your favorite milk (I love using unsweetened vanilla
Cantaloupe Chia Pudding
A chia pudding is simply chia seeds hydrated in a liquid, but this simple combination can be transformed into so many delicious flavor profiles and today, we are adding cantaloupe to create a naturally sweet and cheerful breakfast that you are going to love… Cantaloupes are a wonderful source of Vitamin C, fiber and potassium. They also contain zeaxanthin, which is an antioxidant with great eye health benefits. With their many health benefits and wonderful natural sweetness, these melons are a fabulous addition to todays chia pudding. Let’s get started… While chia pudding is super easy to bring together, it does require time. Chia seeds will start to become hydrated in as little as 30 minutes, but you will get the most nutritional benefits and best texture with 4 hours or an overnight soak. If you have the time, prep the pudding the night before you want to divide them
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.
