But now, end of November, I’d say it’s about time to start baking gingerbread cookies. I, traditionally…

My mother’s pickled cucumber soup
Over the years of cooking and tasting new things and flavours, my list of favourite dishes is steadily evolving. One thing however didn’t change. And it’s the love for this soup. It was my favourite when I was a kid, and it didn’t change ever since. My mum used to make it from time to…

Dinner in 20min: Tortellini with minced meat in creamy tomato sauce
4The weather outside seems to be THE topic these days. It’s grey, rainy, windy and everyone is expecting snow. And it should fall soon.

Salmon on green vegetables
Yes, it’s been weeks since I last posted anything. Since then I changed the layout of the blog, climbed few mountains, got sick and got 2nd degree burns, but most of all, the heat is driving me nuts. Everything that required longer than 5 minutes in the kitchen was off limits.

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…

Raspberries and white chocolate cake
You know, in my family there is this unspoken rule, that there has to be a cake, or some other pastry after dinner. It’s normally on Sunday around 3-4pm, where we all would gather with a coffee and a piece of something sweet and just chat. Whenever we visit our relatives we become very aware…
