Chocolate buckwheat gluten-free cake

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. The weather was perfect - fresh mornings turning into a beautiful sunny day when you can still eat al fresco. I hope you had a wonderful weekend as …

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). The area was industrial, but now the apartment and office buildings to spring up like mushrooms. The store tries to supply …

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. …

Audrey Hepburn Chocolate Cake

So is that that chocolate cake you baked last time when we were visiting - a friend has asked. It took me a while to think which cake he refers to. There is this chocolate cake that I baked so many times, that is my other friend's favourite and once I've spectacularly crashed into a floor (the boys …

Chocolate banana muffins and hello from Krakow

Hey there! Anybody here? It's been a while. I won't go into details now, but all in all I've missed you and this little place of mine. It's funny how talking to yourself on the web is something one would miss. I also noticed that once I've ditched the blog I lost a place to store my recipes and stories from …

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 …

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 …

Cardamom and coffee chocolate mousse

When I told you I loved chocolate mousse I wasn't kidding. I loved how simple it was to make, how light it felt and how healthy it was. Well, there is another (avocado one) that I would love to try. We are heading to Spain on Sunday (I'm writing it on Friday), I'm not packed, …

Moist beetroot chocolate cake

I've finally managed to go back to reading. When I was younger books were my favourite way of entertainment, but then there was no internet, so it was just easier not to get distracted. Nowadays I spend too much time looking at Facebook timeline, where nothing interesting happens and it is so easy to forget …

Chocolate prunes soaked in rum

It's windy. Again. I'm zoning out almost like a hero of "The secret life of Walter Mitty" (watch it, even just for beautiful vistas from Iceland, Greenland, and Afghanistan), dreaming about warm countries, where there is no winter and summer is hot. I'm also reading an unusual book reminding myself how I like learning about random …
