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.
Smash Burger Sliders
Smash burgers… delicious. Sliders… fun. Smash burger sliders… perfect. Today, we are making crispy little smash burger sliders for dinner and not only are they ready in 15-20 minutes, but they are absolutely delicious! Begin by combining 16 ounces of ground beef (80/20 is best here) with 1 tablespoon of worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of mustard, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder and salt and black pepper and form the mixture into little golf ball size meat balls (1-1.5 ounces if you are weighing). Now that the beef is ready, we are going to mix up a quick burger sauce. Combine 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of sweet relish and add a pinch of cayenne, salt and black pepper. Take a quick taste test and add additional cayenne or salt if the sauce doesn’t pop enough.
The Ultimate Cookie Bars
Cookie bars are like cookie short cuts. You get all of the things you love about cookies without needing to shape anything or bake in batches. You just mix up the cookie dough and bake it all at once. Easy. Cookie. Perfection. Now this particular cookie bar recipe has just about everything you would want in a cookie – chocolate, peanut butter, oats, nuts, toffee, candies, sea salt – and thats why I have crowned them the “ultimate cookie bars”. Let’s get started… Started by vigorously whisking 4 tablespoons of butter with 1/2 cup of peanut butter, a large egg and 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract until smooth. Add 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and whisk until incorporated. Stir in a cup of old fashioned oats, 3/4 cup of all purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until
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
Maple Orange Glazed Pork Skewers
Skewers are such an easy go-to option for summer weeknights, backyard barbecues or campfires. Stack a protein and some veg on a skewer, season, grill, enjoy. What could be easier? Well, these pork skewers are that easy and they are brushed with a sweet, sticky maple orange glaze that make them so special and something that everyone will love. Let’s get started… Begin by mixing up a quick dry rub and the maple orange glaze… Dry Rub – 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper Maple Orange Glaze – 1/3 cup of fresh orange juice and 1/3 cup of pure maple syrup Pork tenderlion and pork shoulder works best on skewers, but they will be a little different from each other. The tenderloin will
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.
