Welcome To Ambitious Foodie!
Imsen is the author, recipe developer, and photographer behind Ambitious Foodie. Welcome to my virtual kitchen! If you're wondering what's for dinner, you've come to the right place.
Here you'll find everything Mediterranean recipes and cuisine inspired by seasonal ingredients, especially Mediterranean influences.
Whether it's a simple Spaghetti Seasoning, a Mozzarella Shrimp Pasta, 15 Minute Garlic Parmesan Sauce, or this super creamy Chicken Mozzarella Pasta, My main goal is to make it as easy as possible for an average home cook to enjoy.
Since 2014, I've been sharing simple recipes on different previous blogs and Pinterest boards. What began as a fun hobby has evolved into a great community of home cooks and a collection of tasty and simple recipes that I am thrilled to have created.
After a few years of writing, while working at a fantastic job, I left my job in 2019 to operate the blog full-time.
I love a lot my Air Fryer that's why you are going to find a lot of Air Fryer recipes in this blog. What can I say, I have a weakness for this Boom Boom Shrimp, This Ranch Pasta Salad and Lipton Onion Soup Meatloaf Recipe!
I do a lot of cooking basics and unit conversions like how many tablespoons in ¼ cup, and 100 Grams To Ounces.
Camera Gear and Equipment
In November 23rd, 2024 my new camera arrived! I am completely smitten with my new Nikon Z6 II with a Z 35mm lens. I strongly suggest this camera if you're looking to get a new one! The touch screen is amazing. I can actually capture a picture by simply touching the screen! It weighs a little less than my D7500, and since my cheap tripod is struggling to support the weight, I'm definitely considering acquiring a C stand. I'm in a little sticker shock from the camera/lens purchase, so I'm not quite ready to make that buy just now.
For the Lens i choose this full-frame Nikkor Z 35mm f 1.8 S. It's so sharp and so well built.
Previous Camera Setup
I used a Nikon D7500 for all of my recipe photos.
As for the lens I used the Nikon 18 – 140 mm
Also for the lens I used, and this was my favorite lens back then, the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens
Lightning Gear
As for the light i use this Godox SL100D
