Simple pasta with chanterelles
They’re yellow, they’re mushrooms and now it’s the season. Yes, I’m talking about chanterelles. Actually the season started some time ago already, but let’s skip the technicalities. These funny mushrooms, with almost female-like name, cause my heart to skip a bit everytime I see them on the shelf in the shop. I think these are…

Gyros casserole
After weeks of weather changing from too hot to too rainy, we used a chance and submitted our holidays. We had enough of that Summer. Adventure- here we come. Our destination- the North!

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.

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…

Breakfast ideas: toast with brie, the fancy way
You know, they say there are two types of people: morning people, and people who want to slap morning people. I’m definitely not a morning person. But after my first coffee, to tame my grumpiness, there is hope. And there is also one thing I really enjoy: breakfast. Especially those that last a while longer.

Banana cake with cherries
May is definitely a month with the most days off. If planned carefully, and if the weather plays along, you can feel like you hit the jackpot. One of the good things about my company is the fact that we have new fruits delivered every week. But with so many days off, and people taking…

Fried potatoes with asparagus
Fried potatoes, or Bratkartoffeln is one of the classics of the german cuisine. When visiting Bavaria, chances are you’ll have it on your plate sooner or later. I guess my luck then because it’s one of my favourite dishes, even though I haven’t cooked it in a while.

Rice with roasted vegetables
My “no meat and no sugar” – challenge is over by now and I’m happy I did it. It definitely was fun. And a little bit of an achievement. Though I had to get over sugar, there is enough substitute for meat. The curious foodie in me even reached for meatless meatballs, where the list…

Chickpeas and spinach curry
I’m sure everyone has that special food we just always have in our cupboards. Something that always comes in handy when we cook, let it be canned tomatoes, mozarella or fresh herbs. For me it’s the can of tomatoes, followed very closely by a can of chickpeas. It’s something I took from my uni days.
