These cute little buns are pretty popular at my house now. All because of one little guy that fell in love with them and keeps asking for more. He says “Monika, may I have a raisin bun?” And he looks at me with those big brown eyes. How could I say no to that? So […]
I am on a mission to find good cookies recipes. Cookies that don’t taste like sugar mixed with flour. Perhaps I already mentioned that so far the best source was Cook’s Illustrated and this is the case this time. These cookies have nice buttery flavor and very sandy texture, which causes them to just melt […]
This year I have more kitchen responsibilities than I am used to, just because I will be preparing Christmas Eve dinner on my own. It will be just for two of us, but still I want to preserve atmosphere of holidays and recreate as many traditional Polish dishes as I can (just so you know, […]
Although winter has come to some parts of the world it is still away from where I live right now. I don’t know for how long though, since it is very cold outside. Regardless, I thought I will bring some sugar powder snow to my kitchen and freshly baked cookies. Almond Spritz Cookies are great […]
Forgive me less than perfect shape of my ladyfingers. But at least you can see the importance of the pastry bag tip. Fortunately shape does not influence the taste! Not so much at least.
Ladyfingers can be eaten just as baked but often they’re used as a base for desserts. Tiramisu is the most famous […]
We all know that the best recipes come from our friends, and sometimes from other blogs ;). Years ago, when I was searching for a recipe for my first banana bread I found Simply Recipes blog that I have been following ever since. The banana bread I made was just perfect – moist with strong […]
Yesterday was my friend’s birthday and I was thinking what would be a nice gift for her. Then it occurred to me, why not bake some delicious cookies for her! Crispy Oatmeal cookies are really good, and as she put it – they are addictive. I agree. Each time I make them they’re gone in […]
I have never thought that writing about food is so difficult. But it is! After that few weeks of blogging I am out of vocabulary (nothing to be proud of) and my post are not long at all. I really hope that with time I’ll get better so please hang in there! I just bought […]
I always look for new farmer’s cheese uses. Usually it ends up on my sourdough bread, topped with honey (yumy!) but often I am not able to finish entire package before the expiration date. You can see where my problem is.. Also I often think loudly about my food related problems, among others, and […]
I am often asked to describe my country and somehow I’ve never had a good answer to that request. Maybe because when I think about Poland I think about food that I miss, flavors I grew up with that got lost without notice, between changing countries and continents. It is difficult to explain, but for me […]
