After all preparation, cooking, frantic shopping, etc. holidays are over. Now it is time to relax and have some leftovers for dinner. For me it will be mushroom soup and pierogi. And for dessert a piece of plesniak cake. After I finish it all, I will stretch out on the sofa and […]
Sometimes I would like to know what the author wanted to say by naming this cake Plesniak, which translates to Mucor. Rather not appealing name. I can assure you that cake itself has nothing to do with the fungus!
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour 4 tablespoons + 1/2 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract […]
Probably this is the last post before Christmas, so why not make it about cookies. Again.
I must warn you – these gingerbread cookies are very tasty and worth the effort but the dough is rather difficult to handle. After I managed to get done with cutting the cookies my kitchen looked like after the […]
There are few dishes my husband mastered to perfection and crêpes are one of them. He always manages to create these thin and delicate pieces, complete opposite of what I am able to do. We usually have them with strawberry fruit spread and milk. Soo quick and easy! But the beauty about this dish is […]
By now you probably can tell that I have kind of.. sort of.. a sweet tooth. If this is news to you just check out previous posts :).
I don’t like nuts in the cakes, but I decided to try this Pecan Coffee Cake just because the picture in the magazine was very appetizing. So […]
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 […]
