Does food ever bring back memories for you?

Last night, we had lemon chicken for supper, nothing fancy, just something simple and comforting. But as soon as I tasted it, I was transported. Back to our very first meal together. A quiet evening. A small kitchen. That nervous excitement of something new beginning. The kind of memory that sneaks up on you through the senses before your mind even catches up.

That’s the thing about food. It’s more than fuel. It’s more than flavour. It’s layered with emotion like a photograph, it captures something fleeting and turns it into something lasting. A taste, a smell, a glance, a moment.

In my photography, especially when I’m working with food, I try to honour that feeling. To capture not just what’s on the plate, but what it feels like to sit down, to share, to remember.

Because food, like love, isn’t just something we consume. It’s something we return to.
