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 …

Apple pies and szarlotki

  The light  has changed. It gets chilly in the morning.  It feels like autumn, even though it's extremely beautiful and sunny. The Christmas Shop in one of Dublin's department stores has been opened (it's crazy, isn't it? You can still remember summer, you shouldn't think of winter yet!). Autumn calls for autumnal treats.

Apple muffins

I want it to be spring. It is almost here, the days are longer and flowers on my way to work open more and more every day. There is a beautiful magnolia tree that blossoms so nicely, but I don't know how it is possible when it's still so cold most of the times. On …

Usually I find tons of recipes I can't use for a reason like …

Tatra mountains apple pie

It is Sunday evening. I try to get my thoughts together and write a nice post. Where did this Sunday go? Was it a slow morning with nice breakfast, or internet browsing while it was too cold and rainy to do anything else? Or was it because we managed to kick our arses and go …

Super apple pie with marzipan

Spring is in the air, so finger crossed for the good news in the near future, and let's talk about something really, really good. I want to tell you about the best apple pie I have made for a long time. I don't make apple pies too often. Reason no. 1 - my boyfriend isn't …
