Potatoes au Gratin with Cream

Today in my kitchen I am “going back in time” and cooking one of my favourite dishes the way it was cooked in the 1920s. This year leading cooking appliance brand Stoves UK is celebrating 100 years. I was wondering what people cooked back then. Today we usually cook something simple and comforting using all […]

Basic Nutty Granola

I’m in the process of choosing which recipes to do and share on the blog. Any ideas? This post I’ve made about a month ago but didn’t have a chance to posting it. So here it is! The simplest basic recipe of granola. I like this basic recipe because it is easy and requires almost […]

Buttermilk Crepes

I grabbed this recipe from my friend. It is amazing! It is not the simplest crepe recipe but it is worth the time to spend to make them. These crepes are so beautiful with all those little bubbles on the surface. Just look at the photos! Thanks to buttermilk they have sour-sweet taste and are […]

Raspberry & Ginger Jam

I’ve made this jam while thinking about cold autumn and winter days. Nothing is better for me then a cup of a hot tea or coffee with a flavorous jam when I feel sick. A raspberry jam reminds me about my childhood. My mum used to make a classic jam, she boiled it for many hours until jam became […]

White Nectarines Pie with Lime Glaze

My favourite season has started and it means that I will have a lot of time for new seasonal experiments. How I love the start of new season! I also will be glad to hear about your favourite food ideas! The fall season also means plenty of vegetables. Very rich, deep tastes of butternut squash, […]

Shortbread Plates with Mascarpone & Berries

Summer is for simple and quick to prepare treats because you have so many things to do while the sun is shining and the days are so long. Last weekend was very hot in London and I didn’t want to bake anything, but I had beautiful berries from a farm market and decided to make simple […]

Peach Jam

Nowadays we can buy any jam we want in the supermarket. There are plenty of flavours: classic sweet and savoury, herbed jams, vegetable jams, etc… I can’t call myself a person who make a huge amount of jam every season, but there is always something magical in “jam-making” process. Something from childhood, which always reminds me […]

Hand Pies with Eggs & Greens

This is one of my mum’s recipes. I like making recipes which my mum used to make many years ago for my own family. Isn’t it magical? I’ve changed my mum’s recipe a little which I so loved in my childhood and now. Hand pies with the eggs+onions+dill filling. Actually I’ve changed the only dough: my mum used an […]

Crêpe Cake with Mascarpone Cream & Fresh Berries

While coming up with the next recipe for the blog I realised that I haven’t made cakes for a long time! I wondered what cake should it be and decided to make crêpe cake first time in my life. Because it seemed to be a very summer, easy, light cake but the main reason was that I adore thin crêpes. I love […]

Broad Bean & Leek Fritatta

While talking about eggs for breakfast my two favourite ways to cook them are poached and scrambled. But I love to make every breakfast special. I never make two same breakfast in a row. That’s why I need a huge number of breakfast ideas. Frittata is not one of the boring options. I have some ingredients that […]
