when my plans are changed
Last week I was going to my favourite deli shop Frische Paradies to buy veel cheeks. But they didn’t have it. Once I was already there, decided to go for something else. Something fancy I have never cooked before. Poussins got me. I did recipe research and found this awesome recipe. Roasted poussins with pomegranate sauce and … Continue reading

I’m back on the blogging track after two months of travelling around and working. I have had to come up with some summer refreshment these hot days.

If you are a fan of extraordinary combinations, this is a great option for you. Crisp oyster mushrooms with roast chicory – a vegetable with white leaves that taste bitter and are usually eaten raw in salads. I love it both ways fresh and roasted!

CHRISTMAS FOOD NIRVANA
This year I had really different Christmas holiday. I spent it at my friends‘ place and cooked for eight people. That was a big challenge.

XMAS GIFTS WITHOUT STRESS
In 2011 I have decided to do things differently. I have tried to keep the promise, I gave to myself in the beginning of the year, during the Christmas time as well.

A LIFETIME AFFAIR
Squash (genus Cucurbita), also called marrow, is that kind of food that has never disappointed me. I love it! When I was a kid, I couldn’t have confessed to my classmates or friends that I was crazy about pumpkin. It was rather underestimated vegetable at that time. At least in my home country.
