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.

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.

Did I mention already what my recent obsession is? I think I did in my recent post. ‘Mississippi Vegan’ book by Timothy Pakron is in my kitchen all the time when I am looking for inspiration what to cook. Continue reading “Cucumber and carrot salad”
Gomashio – Japanese sesame salt
I have recently been fascinated by Timothy from Mississippi Vegan. He has just published his first book which is full of beautiful photographs and really amazing recipes. I am not vegan but I appreciate and love veggies. When I was making dinner today I was looking for some nice twist to a salad and I found this super easy but extremely delicious gomashio – Japanese sesame salt idea. Traditionally it is sprinkled on salads or rice but I think it will work great on sushi and soups! It tastes so good that I will be sprinkling it on everything.

Caramel apple upside down cake
How do you get inspiration for your cooking? Cookbooks? TV shows (Great British Bake Off anyone?). My brain registers everything that can be related to food. I don’t even know how it does that! So when I was thinking about weekend baking, I thought that I want to try an upside down cake. I have never made one before, but I heard that they are delicious.

Rainbow cookies
School bake sales are on before Halloween. I usually bake something for my daughter’s school. If you are looking to make something that will impress the little ones, try also these strawberry bars. With kids in mind I made these rainbow cookies. They are really easy to make and you can double the ingredients so when you are in need of something sweet and delicious you can bake them quickly. There is nothing like warm cookies and glass of milk… Continue reading “Rainbow cookies”
Coffee cake muffins
If you know me personally you know that I am not myself without a cup of coffee in the morning. Well…not only in the morning… I just love this strong, one of its kind smell. It is almost like a magic potion that promises you super human powers after you drink it. Continue reading “Coffee cake muffins”
Fig and cherry chia pudding
My chia pudding recipe is great for breakfast or as a dessert. It is creamy and luxurious. You can add whatever you wish to it. The one I made on the photo is with figs, homemade raspberry jam, vanilla yogurt, cherries and dark chocolate. Healthy indulgence – that’s what it is:) Continue reading “Fig and cherry chia pudding”
