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 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 …

Pumpkin cake with nutty crumble

Sometimes I see a cake that I must make it. That strange urge is like itching, doesn't stop until you follow it up. That cake looked gorgeous and fitted into my autumnal mood. A lot of cinnamon and spices, some nuts and finally pumpkin. It couldn't be better suited for this season. The cake should have …

Leftover pesto bread

I was always told you should never waste food. There are million dishes you can make with leftovers. I must say, I'm not always as good as I should. Sometimes I find something in the back of my fridge that can't be rescued, but I work on it, so it doesn't happen too often. Last week I …

Cinnamon swirl cake

It was dark and gloomy Monday morning. It was proved that this is the most depressing day in the year. Apparently most of the New Year's resolution was broken, payday wasn't close and it was still winter. I baked a cake for my friend, but as I walk to work it couldn't be anything fancy …

Christmas decorations were taken down and Christmas tree was left naked in the corner. It was quite a sad sight. I feel in between seasons now, we had winter, then …

Chocolate walnut cranberry cookies

A the moment of writing these words these chocolate walnut cranberry cookies exists only on the photos. It's their …

Honey Cake (Miodownik)

Lately, I lost my voice (metaphorically speaking). I don't know if I want to talk about Christmas, or about how full we still are or maybe how the kittens are growing and getting bolder. So instead of trying to make up something, I will present you with a monster cake aka honey cake (miodownik). The …

Recycling truffles or bayaderka

Tell me, how often do you end up with a slacked-baked cakes, or any other baking disasters? Well, it happens to me sometimes. I would say that is a natural risk of baking. Sometimes even disaster cakes taste ok-ish, but sometimes they don't. Anyway it doesn't matter if you end up with disaster cake or …

Jan Hagel – Holiday Biscuit Recipe Exchange

This year I have baked more cookies than usual, but it's Christmas and there are so many people I wanted to share them with. So when Irish Food Bloggers Association mentioned Holiday Biscuit Recipe Exchange I couldn't resist anyway. I got the recipe from Jennifer, that her mother passed on to her. It is a traditional Dutch recipe …
