 I'm all for making use of seasonal ingredients right now, and spending less time at the stove too - got to make the most of the sunshine! Here's a delicious, simple and fresh mousse. the recipe is based on one from Waitrose - hope you enjoy. Do you like the glasses? They belonged to my grandmother and came from a punch bowl set. Cute aren’t they! Recipe: 300g strawberries, 200g raspberries, 100g caster sugar, 3 leaves gelatine, 250ml double cream, zest of 1 lemon. Some spare fruit to serve, along with mint leaves and 2 crumbled shortbread fingers. Method: put raspberries and strawberries into a food processor or blender and whizz to purée. Push though a sieve into a pan, stir in sugar and heat until simmering. (Do not boil) Soak gelatine in cold water for 5-7 min. Remove purée from heat and add the gelatine leaves (squeeze out water) and stir until dissolved. Cool in a bowl for about an hour. Whisk the double cream and lemon zest until forms soft peaks and stir into the berry mixture. Divide into 4 glasses and chill overnight. Serve with fresh fruit, mint and crumbled shortbread.

Calling all pubs and restaurants with outdoor space: Ok it’s rained a lot so far this spring, but when the sun shines (and it will) potential customers are going to be looking for that Alfresco dining experience. Don’t we all look forward to those long summer afternoons, stretching into balmy evenings spent outdoors at our favourite pubs and restaurants, eating and drinking in the warm sunlight, chatting to friends long into the night. Now is the time, if you haven't already, to get your social media ready, to go! Advertising your summer menu, your refreshing drinks, cool deserts and pretty eating areas. Showcasing your unique food and atmosphere with high quality and professional images will give you the advantage over your competitors. If you want to be summer ready, please do give me a shout.  I'm a food, hospitality and Restaurant photographer based near Newbury, Berkshire UK, working remotely online worldwide and on location, dedicated to helping you tell your food story through authentic, eye-catching images and video.
When I shoot any restaurant, I make sure I capture each dish in a variety of angles. Firstly it gives the client a choice if they have engaged me to supply images for a website refresh, but also it gives them an opportunity to have content they can use on social media without posting the same picture of each dish time and time again, or worse, supplementing professional photography with hasty shots taken as a dish leaves the kitchen on its way to the customer. My advice is to make sure you have enough content for both website and social media posts. So many times I see websites with great professional images, but a social media gallery that doesn't even come close to capturing the food at its best. Most restaurant photographers will offer a package to include shooting each menu as it changes seasonally so that you have great imagery to support your business throughout the year. Additional photos of your location, staff/chefs, bar, cocktails etc tell the story even better, giving your customers a real insight into what your offer, but when budgets are tight, the food must be the star. An experienced photographer will know how to capture your interior into the shots. I have a genuine desire for my clients to thrive, and keep prices low allowing for repeat and sustainable business. My service doesn't end when the photos are delivered; I am always available for advice and help. If this feels like a relationship that could work for your business, please do get in touch.
