Mouthwatering recipes for food lovers
You don’t have to tell me twice to try some new food. Especially if it is something traditional, which I wouldn’t necessary find in my local Indian takaway. My friend cooked this for me and I devoured it. Literally cleaned the plate with home made roti. Thankfully he shared recipe with me and I am sharing it with you 🙂
When the weather doesn’t encourage you to venture outside of the warmth of your home, when all you want to do is to wrap up in the blanket and have a lazy day, this ragu is your best friend. Beef cheeks are cheaper cut, which transforms to buttery melt in the mouth, falling apart meat when cooked slowly on low heat. Pair them with tagliatelle or pappardelle, glass of red wine, and you have beautiful dinner that will leave you feeling warm and satisfied. If the food could give you a hug, this ragu would definitely be able to do it.

I am getting old. Why do I know it? One night out ends up as few days recovery time. Some people can’t even look at food after having one too many. I am totally opposite and I could ‘eat a horse’ (please don’t be alarmed, this is just the way we say it in Poland when we are really hungry ;-)). I usually crave comforting, belly warming food, that will make me feel better.

I’ve been watching Chef’s Table with a friend of mine (quite a foodie too), and we went drooling when we saw what Christina Tosi is baking… I couldn’t get over the genius behind cereal milk panna cotta, compost cookies or birthday truffles. There was one treat that got our attention and curiosity even more – a crack pie. Impossible to resist sweet, sugary, oat cookie based pie. I knew I had to try making it.

Food doesn’t need complications to taste great. Some best recipes are created by accident or when you have only few ingredients and you do not fancy going to the shop. I think everyone had mushroom on toast at some point in their life. If you haven’t, you are missing out and you have to try it.

I will be honest with you. Life has been very hectic for the past three months. I couldn’t find space or motivation to cook properly and adjust the way I cook to suit just me and my daughter. I missed photography and I missed the creative part of me. But thanks to good friend (yes Ewelina, that’s all thanks to you!) I got a kick in the arse and suddenly I woke up with the energy to do things I really love doing.

There are certain things that I will never get bored of. I will always comment on the grass getting greener in Spring, the smell and the warmth of fire, glass of good red wine in the evening. And lemon drizzle cake. I am quite surprised that I actually haven’t posted it yet!

I came across Donal Skeehan on Polish telly the other day. He was visiting Japan and talked about Japanese milk breads. I was mesmerised when he was baking them in the programme. They looked somewhat between brioche and Polish sweet buns. There is one very interesting part to it though – thangzhong. It is like a roux but instead of butter, we use milk or water. This paste makes buns fluffy and light.

Imagine luxurious and sensual smell of spices, the colours, the heat. This is what I like about Indian food. It never disappoints. And it is always satisfying. My family and I love a good curry and this is one of the usual takeaway choices.
