{table for two: pure vegetarian by laksmi, finland}

. . . helsinki-based photographer & vegetarian, lakshmi wennäkoski-bielicki’s, portfolio is so captivating, it is enough to make one regret not being even slightly proficient in the kitchen — the light and utterly lovely photographs are every bit as stunning as the dishes featured — delectable things such as pulla, a finnish sweet bread, handmade pasta with sage & pinenuts, and fig tart with frozen pecan pudding . . .
