Santo's gold rush

Santo’s gold rush

23 September 2011 • Eating in Florence • by

This week I was really excited to shoot at one of my favorite restaurants. Il Santo Bevitore serves inventive Mediterranean plates in a lively atmosphere. This month the chefs created a delicate new menu in honor of the ‘Denaro e Bellezza’ exhibition in Palazzo Strozzi. In typical Santo Bevitore fashion, the dishes are deliciously inviting, but for this occasion, embellished with a dash of gold dust.

In the images below: ’Cetica’ potato foam, poached egg with truffle and edible gold, chefs Pierluigi Campi and Claudio Salvadori and black ink squid risotto, shrimp carpaccio, orange zest and gold flakes.

I am Sofie: a lifestyle and food photographer based in Florence, Italy. I love to show the beauty and light of everyday life. As a freelance photographer I work with restaurateurs, chefs, business owners and designers. I believe working in team creates the best results. My work has also been published in editorials in the US, Italy and Belgium. I think I have the best job in the world!
