Ohh, it was sooo cold today morning. No doubt – it won’t get warmer till April. For such chilly Autumn mornings it is really hard to mobilize yourself, get up, walk the dog (or rather make him do some short walk – Lola doesn’t like chill as well) etc. To help yourself you need some…

Chocolate and Pear
Chocolate is good by its self but it goes wonderfully with four particular ingredients: chili, mint, orange and pear. Chili makes it a pure aphrodisiac – just melt some dark chocolate with milk in a small pot, add some sugar and a tiny pinch of red powder and…well, you can imagine what comes next, especially…
Pears. Again.
Do You like pears? I do. A lot. Especially when used as an ingredients of some dish, instead of eaten raw. Chocolate mousse with pears? Or maybe carrot and pear soup with a pinch of curry? Or a classical pear cake. This one is more traditional than the cake presented previously here. Easy to make….
Plums. Again
Yesterday I asked my friends of FB whether I shall bake macarons or brioche-like cake with plums. The result was simple – everyone was for the latter option. Polish „ciasto drożdzowe”, yeast dough, frequently called „Kuchen” with plums, strawberries or even without anything except streusel is the most traditional bake I can imagine. Not cheesecakes,…
On Plums
I have stopped buying plums. No, I’m not sick or mad. I just have another wonderful source of those great late-summer fruit – garden by the house my Mum’s company is in. In the garden you can find five or six different varieties of plums. Small „węgierki”, perfect for jams and big Parisiens, sweet and…
Peaches vs. Necatrines
Are you a peach person or a nectarine person? I’ve always perceived myself as the latter one. Though I have grown up in a house with garden with 10 or so peach trees of different varieties, they have never been my favourits. Definitely I was more keen on huge plums, golden inside and sweet as…
Welcome, Pear!
First, there are strawberries. After few months of gray days and cold weather, with oranges and last year’s apples I wait for those red little ones as impatiently, as small kids wait for Christmas Eve. In highest point of my fruit desperation I buy those from Argentina or other exotic place, which only look like…
Another rainy day – another sunny cake
Yep, summer is totally out of here these days. Today it was only 12 C, can you believe it? And of course when I finally manage to change from PJ’s to something more public and go out to buy some strawberries and other necessary things it started to rain. I mean, RAIN! In one second…
Rainy day – strawberry cake
After few absoltuely summerish days the weather has decided to remind us what the rain is. No sun, just some dark clouds and rain. There are two good things about such a weather thugh. Well, even three. irst – I don’t need to water my plants (my dear daisies, I love You). Second – no…
Lazy Saturday and Rhubarb Buttermilk Cake
Last night we had here a real springtime storm -with thunders and warm rain. So today everything is fresh, more green and happy. Especially my ruccola growing in the window boxes. Maybe it’s because of the weather, but this Saturday seems to be very lazy. Everything seems to go a bit slower and the thing…
