a perfect summer lunch

Today I'm craving fresh, summer-y foods. How's this for visual + sparkle...Aran Goyoaga of Cannelle et Vanille never seizes to amaze me with her delicious and beautifully shot food.

This is pure simplicity...I'm loving the red and turquoise, and just a hint of contrast given by the patterned cup.

Now this is what drew me into this delicious post...a freshly baked, heirloom tomato tart.

A perfect summer lunch; fresh and simple.

And for dessert, how's this flower-y apricot, pistachio and lemon shortbread tart? Lemon? Did someone say lemon? I'll have anything lemon, please!!

I'll bet the whet your appetite. Make sure to visit Aran's blog for complete recipes, and let me know how they turn out if you try them. :)
