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.
Banana Oat Pancakes
Everyone loves pancakes, right? I know I love the idea of pancakes, but they can be a little time consuming and many of them are full of sugar (in addition to the maple syrup we drown them in). If we love pancakes, can’t we make some that are easy to bring together and have a little bit of nutritional value to them? We sure can… Not only are these pancakes absolutely delicious, but they are also gluten-free, dairy free, high in fiber and contain no added sugar. Plus, they come together in a blender! They are ready as fast as you can dump everything into your blender, they have ingredients that are actually beneficial to your morning routine and they have a fabulous texture that I fall more in love with everything I whip these pancakes up. You should definitely try them… Let’s get started… You will need 2 large
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
It’s tough to be sad when you have cookies baking in your oven . I mean, who doesn’t love a warm, freshly baked cookie? Whether you are baking up some chewy chocolate chip cookies, soft sugar cookies, thin and crispy molasses cookies or something more fancy, like a canestrelli cookie, just knowing that you are minutes away from a fresh baked cookie makes everyone smile. Now, if a good cookie would make someone smile, then these chocolate peanut butter cup cookies may make you break into some sort of a full body “I hope no one saw that” sort of dance. Don’t say I didn’t warn you… These cookies taste incredible, but they have an amazing texture that reminds me of a brownie and a peanut butter cookie and this texture is what I love most about them. They are soft on the inside and chewy on the outside with
Vanilla Chai Cake
Chai is my favorite flavor profile. There is just something about the way that the spices work together to create such a warm and comforting feeling to anything it is added to and I absolutely love it. Chai pairs beautifully with chocolate in cupcakes, in oatmeal and granola and with vanilla in todays fabulous cake. This cake is super simple to bring together. Everything is mixed in the same bowl and the aside from the chai spices, nothing fancy or uncommon is required to whip it up. With a moist, tender sponge and those classic chai flavors, a slice of this cake belongs next to your afternoon coffee or tea. It really does. Let’s get started… Begin by creaming 8 tablespoons of room temperature butter with 1/3 cup of vegetable oil until they are completely combined. Add 1 1/3 cups of granulated sugar and mix until the sugar is full
Vanilla Cake with Berries
There are two ways to properly serve a vanilla cake – covered with a thick layer of bakery style frosting or covered with a big pile of fresh berries. Now the occasion will dictate which topping you go with. If you are at a wedding, office birthday party or grocery store after 10pm, there will most likely be frosting involved, but if you happen to be baking a vanilla cake for any other occasion then you should go with the big pile of berries. It is a much loved pairing for a reason… With nostalgic strawberry shortcake vibes, when this tender vanilla cake is topped with fresh berries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream it quickly becomes a go-to dessert for so many occasions. It is easy to bring together and whether you top it with berries ahead of time or right before you slice it up, the flavors
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.
