My name is Heidi Roth

I’m a writer and a photographer who happens to love food.

Like, a lot.

What I'm Eating
A black rectangular plate with a fried egg on top, garnished with chopped green herbs, placed on a dark wooden table alongside a glass of latte.
Baked lasagna with melted cheese, tomato sauce, and black pepper on top, served in a white dish on pink background.
A round baked cheesecake dusted with powdered sugar, topped with blackberries, on a white plate, with green leaves and scattered blackberries on a white wooden surface.
Baked pear halves on a baking sheet, with caramelized edges and some seeds visible in one of the halves.
