Sticky pear cake

One Friday afternoon our Office Mom told me to take any fruits that were left, or they will get spoilt. When somebody gives me pears, I make a cake. I may deceive myself that I will make a chutney or a dessert, but I always end up with a cake. So I was browsing recipes …

Plum, chia and almond crumble

It's a random rainy autumn evening. I've just come from work. It was a long, tiring day. I'm starving. I feel lonely, cold and I don't want to think. So as if I was on autopilot I cook hard-boiled eggs, decorate them with a decent amount of mayo and chives. I make a nice wheat bread …

Chanterelle breakfast (toasts and scrambled eggs)

  How do you deal with stress? Pre-travel stress in particularly? I must admit I don't do too well 😉 So instead just relaxing and enjoying the most beautiful Indian summer, I can feel how my muscles clench. It's ridiculous. I've been traveling enough to have an idea what to pack, how to pack and how …

Leczo / Lecsó / Pepper and courgette stew

I could smell autumn in the air, and this year I felt excited. Like in days when I was still going to school and autumn meant new notebooks, pens, books and finally having my social life back. Summer has never been my season. Although there were years when it was charming with its lunches in the …

Coconut apple cake

  There are times when you need more help from your friends than usual. Sometimes you may be tired of asking for help all the time, but if you are lucky like I am, your friends will read between the lines and offer you help even if you don't ask directly. They will come with big smiles and …

Audrey Hepburn Chocolate Cake

There is this chocolate cake that I baked so many times, that is my other friend's favourite and once I've spectacularly crashed into a floor (the boys …

Boozy date tart

I'm not sure if any of you noticed, but it's been here quiet here lately. It's not because the weather is so gorgeous and we've been out and about. No, the weather could finally improve, it's July! Back to the point. It was quiet because we are going back to Krakow! There is also a new idea I have in …

Peanut butter and banana muffins

They say eating won't solve any problems, but it may make you feel better. But let's be fair, we don't want to be too naughty. So for one of those days these guys are perfect if you want to eat something sweet. They are quite heavy, but taste like a mix of peanut butter and bananas. Because they are mostly …

Chocolate cardamom cookies

I've always dreamt of being of those ladies that bake tone of cookies ahead of Christmas, they use all the fancy cookie cutters and then decorate it with the royal icing. But truth to be told, I don't like icing. Cutting too many shapes drives me mad, but I do love cookies. So I keep an eye …

Earl grey herrings

I want to tell you this is another Polish food post. Well it is and it isn't. Herrings are popular in Polish cuisine, but Swedes are probably more known of them. These are actually called Swedish style. So you know, finding the origins of food is complicated. They are Polish enough to be found in Polish shop around Ireland. You can …
