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.
Parmesan Za’atar Artisan Bread
I think everyone should have a quick, simple bread recipe on hand. One that doesn’t require a bunch of kneading, long proofs or super strict measurements. This parmesan za’atar artisan bread is exactly that… This loaf is cheesy, salty and herby with a crisp crust and beautifully tender crumb. Plus, it is filled with fine shreds of parmesan and beautiful za’atar. If you aren’t familiar with za’atar, it is an earthy Middle Eastern spice blend with herbs like oregano, thyme and marjoram, citrusy sumac, sesame seeds and sea salt and it is one of my favorite spice blends in my collection. With the wonderful texture in this loaf, the ease of bringing everything together and the delicious flavor profile, this bread needs to be added to your future baking plans. Let’s get started… Begin by collecting your ingredients. You will need an envelope of active yeast, salt, sugar, all purpose
Berries & Mascarpone Icebox Cake
It is definitely summer right now and while it is way too hot to have my oven running right now, I still want need dessert, so we are making one of my favorite icebox cakes…. this berries and mascarpone icebox cake…. This beauty make look similar to a tiramisu, but aside from the lady fingers and mascarpone (both of which are negotiable in this recipe), it is not. There are no eggs or espresso in this one, just a whole bunch of berries and a beautifully fluffy cream. This cake is light and refreshing and just perfect for summertime. Let’s get started… This cake is made with 3 main elements – the cookies, the berries and the cream and all three elements are negotiable. Let’s break it down… The cookies – I am using ladyfingers and they are my favorite option here, but you could technically use any cookie with
Mocha Tres Leches
Tres leches is such a classic and when I started craving a chocolate version, it almost felt sacrilegious, but I pressed on and carefully developed one of the absolute best cakes I have ever made… this mocha tres leches cake… This dessert is quite special. A moist chocolate cake soaked with an espresso milk soak and topped with a super fluffy coffee whipped cream. How fabulous does that sound? This cake is quite special and it stays good chilled for up to 4 days… if it even lasts that long, so it is a great make ahead dessert that everyone is going to absolutely adore. Let’s get started… Begin by whisking 2 large eggs with 1/2 cup of a neutral oil or sour cream (whichever you have on hand), 1 cup of whole milk and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract until everything is well combined. Add 1 3/4 cups
Çilbir – Turkish Eggs with Spicy Tomato Butter
I feel like these creamy Turkish eggs have been all over lately and honestly, when I first started seeing them, I didn’t know if I would like them or not. Fast forward a few months and I started playing with my own recipe and things moved pretty fast from this point. My first try turned out well and while it wasn’t perfect, it made me realize that this recipe was definitely worth tinkering with. So I played with it, made some adjustments and finally settled on this wonderful recipe that I have deemed breakfast perfection and today, I am sharing it with you… Begin by combining 1 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 large clove of finely minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh parsley, some fresh lemon juice and a pinch salt and black pepper
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.
