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 …

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 …

Delicious vegan pate and gravy

I was wondering how to start this year. A cake against all diets? Herring as a counterbalance to all the sweets we ate? But I decided to go with a good to you vegan pate. I have a problem with veggies in the winter, as I found fresh vegetable hard to eat, it's cold and …

White bean dip with semi-dried tomato pesto + video

It all started long time ago. It was somewhere during the winter when Nora from Art of Exploring asked me if I want to collaborate with her on making a video recipe. I always wanted to make video, but I don't have skills or equipment. I love Nora's videos and she also often takes care of our cats (thank …

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 …

Christmassy pickled herring

The apartment is almost ready for Christmas, Christmas tree is put but the menu is still in progress. I'm still looking for perfect recipes, I waver between traditional and new recipes. Probably because of that it was quite sweet on the blog lately. Sweets are so much easier to pick, but I don't want you to …

Polish empanadas stuffed with cabbage and mushrooms

  Every post should have an introduction. I wrote one for this one twice, but I didn't like it. What you see on the photo I would call pierogi, even though they are not made from pasta like dough like these ones, in my family often we fry them like this, but these pierogi are made …

Herrings in mustard sauce

  I don't know what do you think about herring. I've never been a big fan of it, on the other hand, my parents love it. I don't even know why I had such animosity towards it, as I generally like fish. Maybe it was the fact that I saw them eaten with significant amounts …

Smoked mackerel spread and what I did when I was away

I miss you my dear blog and my beloved bloggers. I would love to promise that two more weeks and I will be back for good, but I know myself too long to believe it. But I have a few good reasons, why I was somewhere else. First of all, we had real summer over …

Bruschetta with arugula pesto – Donna Hay Challenge

Here comes another Donna Hay Challenge. And this time I was thinking. I didn't focus on changing position of a napkin (but I know I should), or trying to make perfect slices of mozzarella. I even didn't make my own pesto (shhh..., don't tell anybody) and all because of Joanne. She wrote  "How many more pictures of …
