Cream cheese brownies and other stories

I’ve been meaning to bake brownies for some time now. And this week offers perfect opportunity to do so, since we have two days off during the week, Tuesday and Wednesday. I’m not as lucky as most of my colleagues to have holidays the whole week, and working on Monday felt like in a post…

Sweet buns with ricotta and blueberries

Some time ago, Nisheeta from Nisheeta Photography , asked if I knew a recipe for soft buns. She already knew this breakfast buns recipe I posted , but that wasn’t really what she was looking for.

Chicken in almond-coconut curry

I love to try new cuisines. I find it fascinating how people use the same spices and products differently. I tried my hands on few, and I think the indian cuisine is my favourite. It’s so rich, full of flavours and contains so many spices. Sometimes I catch myself at adding some of them to…

Easy to make breakfast rolls

I don’t know about you, but I love freshly baked bread. Warm and crunchy and that smell. Heaven! It doesn’t take long until the whole loaf is gone. But truth the be told- I’m not an early bird. So going to the bakery early in the morning is a little bit challenging. Other than that…

The only carrot cake recipe you’ll ever need!

Few days ago I posted a picture of crocuses on instagram. You know, they looked so lovely and the Spring is coming so why not? In Spring even the air is different. But the very next day I woke up to find the world covered in snow again. Luckily for me, I’m one of those…

Chocolate cake

I don’t bake cakes very often. Somehow I got it in my mind that it’s not really my strength. I think it happened after I tried one yogurth cake which, after endless attempts, was still far from being well baked. Well, we all meet our nemesis one day, right? But contrary to that yogurth cake,…
