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 …

A little bit of winter in Ireland

When I asked you to postpone New Year's resolution, I was only teasing you, because I had a really good cake recipe I wanted to share. As mentioned before I'm no good with resolutions at all, but I do try working on bits every now and then. Lately I decided that we need to go back …

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 …

Onion syrup – homemade cough remedy

When I was little, I was sick a lot. I was treated with a mix of antibiotics and homemade remedies, and seriously I don't know what was worse. One one hand there were big pills that I could barely swallow on the other hand there was an onion syrup. It was yuck! Stinky little thing. Now …

A few places in Barcelona worth visiting

Often friends ask me for food recommendations for places we visited. They assume that because I'm a food blogger, I eat really well, but to be honest the food side of my trips is usually mediocre, because very often I select places based on proximity and price. OK, maybe it's not that bad and I'm exaggerating a little bit, I …

Simple bread rolls

Phew, it feels like forever since we talk about bread here. It's the beginning of the year and everybody is talking about new - new plans, new you, but sometimes among all this is good to get something familiar, to maybe sooth any pain of new. So I'm going back to basics. Bread is one of the staples …

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 …

As time goes by – 2014

What a year it was! I can't believe how much I've done during it. It was my most consistent and hardworking year of blogging. I've written over 90 posts! That's 30% more than last year and I managed to be very consistent throughout the year. Food It was very consistent year for my food photography. …

As time goes by December

This series was designed to sum up my months, but somehow it's just easier to dig up some interesting links. December was busy month, with a new job and preparation for Christmas. The last few days I hope to spend summarising the year. It was super busy year, I can't believe how much I was …
