I did it!

Finally finished a blog redesign I've been working on for months and it looks so much prettier! Better categories, more options for sorting, and some pages dedicated to eating seasonally and food science for those looking for particular concepts.

Plus I updated some old-favourite recipes and I have more to come! There's been a big backlog of recipes that are photographed and ready to share, but need to be written up with all the extras. Help keep me motivated to get those to you! If you try a recipe share it with the hashtag #twistsandzests and tag me!

It was so fun finding this range of corbachi peppers at @wilkinsonacres. A fabulous representation of the changing seasons in something a little different than the usual leaves.

Who else loves corbachis? Do you have a favourite type of pepper?

I love the smell of fresh basil, don't you? Summer greens were fun to shoot.

What summer produce are you missing now that fall is getting going?

Summer yellows bringing you a bit of brightness. Who can name what's in the picture?

My new seasonal produce colour photos to get some motivation back. I've definitely found some fun inspirations thus far.

Everything orange and summery! Are you missing sum

Everything orange and summery! Are you missing summer yet?

We haven't had a chance to miss summer yet (it's still way too bloody hot), but I know some of you aren't in areas with such long hot seasons. Hopefully I can bring some of the colours of summer back to you for a little bit with my seasonal colour photos I'm doing as part of @brookelark's #100gooddays.

Produce from @wilkinsonacres @robledo_produce, which includes the awesome habanada peppers - all the flavour, none of the heat!

Seasonal colours! Reds and summer are easy. Well, to be honest, any colour in summer is easy.

I've been just making myself happy doing some of the photos I like best (rather than just client images) as part of @brookelark's #100gooddays. I've definitely been liking the results so far. Produce from @wilkinsonacres @robledo_produce and @eatwellfarm.

Check out all these fun purples! I've been working on my new portfolio of colour inspired seasonal produce images.

I know it's more summer, but in my area we definitely still have lots of summer produce so I just started with what was available. Produce from @robledo_produce and @eatwellfarm.

What other purples can you think of?
