Winter is definitely marmalade season in NZ and this year our citrus trees have given us an abundance of lemons, mandarins, grapefruits, limes, and oranges.
I love the idea of marmalade, although I rarely eat it myself because it's too sweet for me, and I enjoy making jars as gifts. It's also lovely to illustrate ;o)

This piece was inspired by fruit that is in season in the summer, since it is cold for over half of the year. Got to love in season fruit!

Pudding base: Take two tablespoons of chia seeds.
Add to your favorite plant based or regular milk.
Add one teaspoon of honey (or any sweetener of your choice) and stir until combined (I’ve also added almond or vanilla extract for a hint of flavor, just a dash or two).
Chill in fridge for at least two hours so chia pudding mixture can become more gel like.

Toppings and extras: Feel free to add any toppings you want! My favorites are granola, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, coconut shavings, mango or pineapple chunks, strawberry jam, Nutella, possibilities are endless.

**Below is my favorite/ go to combo, but feel free to create your own. Mix and match flavors, fruits, toppings (try cocoa powder, or hot cocoa mix in the pudding before chilling for chocolatey pudding deliciousness) to make it your own! **

Happy creating!!!

Infused by locally grown peaches, berries and herbs, inspired by a visit to our local food market in Kecskemet, Hungary. Super tasty and super easy to make, enjoy!

I don't like vegetables, so I chose fruit salad for my summer. I really love when the fruit meets the drops of lime.

I remember we were sent lots of farm fresh mangoes from our grandpa’s brother who had a farm in village. Mangoes are nostalgia for me

These Spot graphic and pattern, are about the importance of having a vegan meal a day.
Even if you are not 100% vegetarian, you can improve your health and help the planet by eating only fruit and veggies in one of your meals.
Of course, you need to buy fresh products at the farmer’s market.
I just looked at my groceries and draw them.
Most of them, can be eaten raw, so no need for a recipe.

I love cheese and especially a good cheese board. I wanted to highlight some different cheeses that I enjoy along with some food that I enjoy eating with these cheeses. I specifically wanted to include fondue as I have a very fond memory of my first time having it, years ago on a family vacation in France.

My favorite cheese recipe involves putting yummy cheese on a board with all sorts of yummy and beautiful things with it! Meats, crackers, breads, spreads, veggies, fruit - pretty much anything is fair game. We love this as a simple weeknight meal.

I was born in Venezuela and like all the Caribbean countries we have colorful markets full of fruits and smells and impressions. I want to show how these colors stayed in my mind and how the beauty of a papaya, grenada or pineapple can bring your taste buds to sprinke.

A simple and refreshing treat.

Along with a cook-book project I drew a lot of juicy fruits for the desert and drink recipes and I wanted to reuse them in a nice pattern design :) The technique is a mixture of coloured pencils, water color and some help for the light spots with procreate. I hope you like it!
