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 …

Cobblestone gingerbread cookies

Here it goes another recipe for gingerbread cookies. This one is more economical, there is only 100g of honey, but the structure is more traditional than Alpine gingerbread cookies. They are heavier and they are slightly quicker to make. The coffee icing makes them more special. My friend couldn't stop eating them. Enjoy! Cobblestone gingerbread …

Polish Alpine gingerbread cookies (pierniczki jak alpejskie)

  I tell you a secret, I'm not a big fan of homemade Polish gingerbread cookies, they always were too dry for me, but the store-bought ones are a different story - soft and light, filled with jam, or not. This recipe really delivers, it promises light and easy gingerbread cookies, almost like the store-bought.  If …

Leczo / Lecsó / Pepper and courgette stew

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 …

Viennese cheesecake

I'm almost sure, that you may not be keen on looking at yet another cake, but the weather in Ireland doesn't encourage walking. It's dull, grey and wet. So it will be so much more real if we grab another slice of cheesecake, coffee and talk about something sweet. As we finish, we may come back to …

What to cook for a Polish date before Christmas

  I've been asked by match.com if I could recommend some Christmasy recipes for their Polish members. That should be an easy task, as there are so many beautiful recipes to choose from, but once I started analysing, it seemed trickier and trickier. Many Polish Christmas recipes can be pretty laborious. You can impress anybody by making pierogi, but that's …
