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.

Pear & Cashew Sweet Scones

Here are some interesting thoughts about food. I am fond of homemade toothsome food, but I don’t like when it takes a lot of time to make it. Especially now, when I have a baby. In the matter of this I have some simple breakfast/lunch ideas which I just change every time by adding some […]

Sweet Potato Breakfast Pancakes

These days I tried to remake one of my favourite pancakes with squash but adding sweet potato instead. It tasted similar but more delicate and I like it! Since then sweet potato is one of those things which I have always in my shopping basket. It saves my lunch or dinner when I have no time or […]
