Pictures of Food Gallery

New pictures of food every week. Everybody seems to love food pictures, so here are my original images. By the way, they aren't the same photos that illustrate the Mediterranean recipe pages and Mediterranean diet articles of this web site, but different ones.

Some weeks I'll publish Mediterranean recipes, the next week an specific ingredient, a fresh Mediterranean vegetable, or a succulent specialty I just bought from the local farmers' market... As the saying goes: Food goes in through the eyes!

It goes without saying that the main subject is the Mediterranean diet, although now and then you'll see a picture of the Mediterranean seascape and landscape. After all, I'm a firm believer in the Mediterranean cuisine understood as the landscape in the casserole.

Feel free to download or print the pictures of food as long as they are for your personal reference only.

Enjoy the Mediterranean food picture gallery!

Lactarius sanguifluus: Edible mushroom They are very popular in the Catalan Mediterranean diet. You can eat them grilled, in a mushroom soup, stuffed, combined with rice or chick peas, and in many other delicious food combinations.

Freshly made quince jelly Made with heirloom knobby quinces like the one below. Quince fruits are an important element of the traditional Mediterranean diet. They keep a long time and you can make different foods with them.

A lumpy quince fruit hides many secrets inside You can make quince allioli, quince jam, quince paste, homemade quince liqueur or quince jelly with it.

The beauty of the pomegranate fruit announcing the fall The farmer told me that the pomegranate fruits weren't ripe yet. But as it had rained they would get a little larger. Do you love the pomegranate fruit as much as I do?

Pears in full moon Besides eating them raw, you can eat pears in other ways, such as stuffed or poached pears in red wine. Stuffing pears and peaches is a very old Catalan Mediterranean recipe with an unusual intriguing taste.

Full moon summer evening It was full moon, and I managed to catch it beyond the pear tree, between the two branches. Unfortunately, the moon image is way too far and small.

	Straight from the fig tree September is the month of succulent figs like this one.
