Hello

Hello, I am Mary and this is my virtual place where I'll show you some photos of pretty foods and yummy recipes. Over time I have learned that the best food I have ever had was homemade food, always with a touch of love. I know it sounds corky, but this is what my mom once told me.  Here you'll find recipes from different books, from my mom's, grandma's and sisters' kitchen, or simply made by me. I always like to experiment and try new things. You wonder where my blog title comes from. I love photography and since I've started to photograph food I saw another side of it. Food is art indeed. The colors, the textures, the perfumes, the way we cook it and present it. Let's admit that everything in life evolves around food. Food always brings people together.

When I'm not in the kitchen or with my family I love to photograph people. I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Washington DC, you can see some of my work on my other website here.

 Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line anytime!
 You can all find me on Facebook and Instagram.
Cheers and don't forget to have something sweet every day!

Romanian pumpkin pie/Placinta de dovleac

This is the kind of pie I grew up with, starting from late October until late spring almost every Sunday my mom would bake a pumpkin pie. It's light and if you use the right pumpkin you don't have to use too much sugar.
