Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins

It was the last weekend at home before I will go traveling for a month. I had great plans of cleaning, planning the trip, what to pack, writing, reading, and not to forget relaxing. I was terrified. There were so many options. I started slowly, mixing house chores with reading a book, after a few …

Chocolate buckwheat gluten-free cake

This weekend I spent in the most beautiful house in Lanckorona at a yoga retreat. It was Instagram heaven when every element could make a perfect shot. The weather was perfect - fresh mornings turning into a beautiful sunny day when you can still eat al fresco. I hope you had a wonderful weekend as …

Banana bread with almonds

Happy birthday dear little blog! You are 7 years old. I don't know how it happened! There are so many recipes we made together. A bunch of good souls we've met because you exist. I hope you will be a tiny space in the wide universe where I can always come back to and share …

Chocolate yogurt bundt cake

Happy Easter everybody! It's been a while. I don't know how many times I've already written those words and many more I wanted but stopped myself. Who wants to read about blogger's struggles to write. There are at least four more recipes waiting in a line and somehow I'm sitting and thinking how I like this …

Healthy chocolate muffins

Hello to a new refreshed Magda's Cauldron 🙂  If you see this, it means that migration of my blog was successful. I expect that still there will be some broken links, images, wrong formatting, but bit by bit I will sort it out, I promise. A few weeks ago I was coaching a coworker (I …

Poppy seed butter cookies

I hoped to try more cookie recipes this year, but those three will need to do. Those poppy seed butter cookies are very old school, with just a bit of crunch of poppy seeds. Butter makes tiny layers and they just melt in your mouth. I don't think there is more beautiful smell then one of butter. …

Semolina pudding (kasza manna na mleku)

What was your first food memory? Mine is semolina pudding. I don't know how old I was. Maybe two. My mom still served me food in baby bottles with teats. There were 2 or 3 different recipes, but only one I was looking forward. The sweet, creamy semolina pudding goodness. For some reason, I haven't …

Simple banana bread

I was born in 80's during socialism. Until I was 8 or 10, I've never heard,  seen or eaten any bananas. I remember when my mom tried to convince me to try one for the first time. She liked them a lot. For me, it tasted like a soapy, mushy thing that made you look ridiculous …

Chocolate amaretto pear cake

I like making cakes. I always look for an occasion. I baked this one a long time ago. We were watching the Game of Thrones finale at work. Honestly, I wanted to make something that could fit nicely into the TV series, but all I could find or think of was lemon cakes or tarts. …

Mulled pear cider

I have far too many cookbooks. There are some I barely ever use, even though from time to time I grab one of them and flip through it, hoping that one I day I find a recipe I want to try. Some books scare me because of their age, being particular and most importantly - …
