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.

Crepes with sweet cheese filling

This weekend I spent on my own. Tomek was out on his long, boys-only weekend. For me it usually means to be able to catch up on some reading, cooking, or just browsing. To be fair I didn't catch up with too many things, I don't know where time goes, but for sure it goes …

Some prefer it with a base, other without. But a typical Polish cheesecake is made with twaróg (a curd cheese) and bakalie. TWARÓG - If you are living in Ireland, you …
