Gorgeous still-life, the segments of the tomatoes, the wrinkled pods of the ampalaya (which looks more interesting than it tastes), the smooth pearly skin of the eggplants, and the orange-yellow petals of the squash blossoms against all the greens. Someone should paint it!

These photos I wouldn’t have mistaken to have come from Campo d’Fiori. Unmistakably Pinoy. Galing!

Beeeyuutiful! i’ve been a long-time admirer of your photos.

What other ways would you cook squash flowers? i’ve recently tried a dish of flowers stuffed with ricotta and then baked, quite nice…

those tomatoes are called “tumana” here in Marikina. by the way, are shallots the same as those small red onions? i read somewhere that shallots are not really onions, but a combination of onions and garlic. however,some supermarkets label these small onions as shallots. nice pics and looks like a good lot to cook with.

These veggies looks so fresh, very inviting, and just beautiful! They look as if you just picked them yourself from the farm! I can’t wait to see the final dish! oh yummY!

I agree with everyone, those vegetables look photogenic and look like they were picked at their prime especially what looks to me like heirloom tomatoes. I notice too that you have a beautiful antique-looking basket. Must be from Ilocos?

Hello there Marketman,

The picture looks great you should win some kind of award. I could only imagine what the outcome when you’re done cooking them. Bring on the hot rice with “Inihaw Na Bangus Dagupan Style” with kalamansi and bagoong monamon sauce on the side we are good to go. “Pinangat Ni Baket” my favorite Ilocano dish. Way to go Marketman you ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-)
