Ginger cookies

I haven't made those cookies yesterday. I made them last month. That's a good thing, as otherwise I would eat them now. Although while we are talking about the cookies, I start to have an urge to use that peanut butter I have in a cupboard, but maybe I will resist, who knows. Those are …

Silesian dumplings (kluski śląskie)

I don't share Polish food here as often as I should probably. You probably had forgotten I was even Polish. I do believe that Polish food is definitely worth spreading, but I'm always so eager to try new recipes that I keep forgetting about those staples. When it comes to potatoes I don't think Irish are the kings (sorry …

Almond chocolate pear cake

The weather around here is windy, like red alert and windows shaking windy. We even had some snow. It didn't last in Dublin, but I've seen some snow falling and that doesn't happen to often. In this conditions (and I know some of you are in even worse ones) I don't know how anybody can keep New …

Pumpkin cake with nutty crumble

Sometimes I see a cake that I must make it. That strange urge is like itching, doesn't stop until you follow it up. That cake looked gorgeous and fitted into my autumnal mood. A lot of cinnamon and spices, some nuts and finally pumpkin. It couldn't be better suited for this season. The cake should have …

Cardamom and coffee chocolate mousse

When I told you I loved chocolate mousse I wasn't kidding. I loved how simple it was to make, how light it felt and how healthy it was. Well, there is another (avocado one) that I would love to try. We are heading to Spain on Sunday (I'm writing it on Friday), I'm not packed, …

Apple pies and szarlotki

  The light  has changed. It gets chilly in the morning.  It feels like autumn, even though it's extremely beautiful and sunny. The Christmas Shop in one of Dublin's department stores has been opened (it's crazy, isn't it? You can still remember summer, you shouldn't think of winter yet!). Autumn calls for autumnal treats. In our …

Chestnut chocolate pots

When the guests are coming I usually look for a cake I could make. A cake is my favorite, my comfort zone. I only need to have an idea what type of cake I want. Usually, the answer is an easy one.  But since I try to be good and avoid carbs I needed to figure out something …

Plum chutney and giveaway

There is something addictive about chutneys. I've never heard of them until I've started blogging. They are not popular in Poland, but since we live in Ireland I get more and more addicted. Whenever we get a chance we buy a new one to try. I still don't have my favourite flavour combinations and I pick at random. I've never made a …

Polish pate – pasztet

  I sometimes struggle with translations. Wikipedia says pasztet = pate, but I don't trust it, I'm almost sure I've seen more appropriate name somewhere. For a moment I will assume it's correct, but do tell me if you know a proper name. Whenever I tell somebody what I have been cooking, I end up reciting a simplified …

Apple muffins

I want it to be spring. It is almost here, the days are longer and flowers on my way to work open more and more every day. There is a beautiful magnolia tree that blossoms so nicely, but I don't know how it is possible when it's still so cold most of the times. On …
