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.

French 1234 Yogurt Cake
If you clicked on this recipe because you are wondering what a “1234 yogurt cake” is then I can’t wait to explain this one to you… This recipe has been around for over a hundred years and the whole thing is based off of a single container, typically a small glass yogurt container. All of the measurements are either 1 or 2 or 3 scoops of that container, so it is really easy to bring together. I have always loved the dense, moist texture of pound cakes and yogurt cakes and the fact that this one is so easy to bring together makes it even better. If you are looking for a flavorful cake that is really easy to make and will turn out fabulous every time then you will have to give this cake a try asap. Let’s get started… I want to start by saying that I am
Hearty Sweet Potato Oat Muffins
We can never have too many healthy muffin recipes, right? Well these sweet potato oat muffins are full of raw grated sweet potatoes (no pre-cooking necessary), warm spices, whole wheat flour, oats and nuts or chocolate chips… whatever you feel like!

Vanilla Cream Cheese Danish
If we are grabbing something sweet to share, theres a good chance its gonna be cream cheese danish. We both love it with a cup of coffee. There is something wonderful about that dense bready base and the sweet cream cheese filling that hits the spot. Lately, I have been paying more attention to ingredient labels and our typical go-to store bought danish has 55 ingredients. FIFTY FIVE! Crazy, right? Now we are talking danish not health food by any means, but when I don’t even recognize 46 of the 55 ingredients, it begins to feel a little less like a treat and more like a bad decision. Fortunately, I have been working on a fabulous vanilla cream cheese danish with 11 ingredients (all that I can pronounce and at least have a reasonable knowledge of their origins) that tastes wonderful! If you are looking for a great danish recipe
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.
