This weekend I spent in the most beautiful house in Lanckorona at a yoga retreat. It was Instagram heaven when every element could make a perfect shot.

Banana bread with almonds

Happy birthday dear little blog! You are 7 years old. I don't know how it happened! There are so many recipes we made together. A bunch of good souls we've met because you exist. I hope you will be a tiny space in the wide universe where I can always come back to and share …

White chocolate cheesecake with a hint of vanilla and orange

I'm very particular about my cheesecake. I like it heavy and dense. It should be a little moist but not too much. I like a cookie base, especially if it's crunchy. I allow some bit of experimenting with flavors, but not chocolate or the pink cheesecakes will always lose to simple vanilla cheesecakes. How about …

Chocolate yogurt bundt cake

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 …

Chocolate chip walnut banana bread

There is a small shop next to my apartment block. It doesn't have a name, it's just called Delikatesy (the name is popular for grocery stories and often doesn't have anything to do with proper Delicatessen).

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 …

Chocolate amaretto pear cake

I like making cakes. I always look for an occasion. I baked this one a long time ago. We were watching the Game of Thrones finale at work. Honestly, I wanted to make something that could fit nicely into the TV series, but all I could find or think of was lemon cakes or tarts. …

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 …

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 …
