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 …

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 …

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 …

Green onion salad

Polish cuisine isn't overly complicated, I think... Therefore I often end up with something that is barely a recipe, like this green onion salad. We have a special word for salads made from raw fruits and veggies - surówka, that's just to make up for it's simplicity I guess. It's a type of salad that is …
