An impromptu (late) dinner for 4, on a sunny May evening. I usually have an idea of what we will have for dinner no later than during the afternoon. Not today… So, a look around the fridge, which is luckily full of spring veggies, and here is what’s on the menu: Eggs and asparagus salad

That’s a really easy one, low carb but tastes surprisingly good! I recently tried the cauliflower pizza which was advertised so much on Pinterest, and this was bad… Even the veggie-loving-Junior refused to eat it. But this is different; the spicy chorizo with cheese and a good mushroom base work really well. But don’t be

After a long day in the office, a run through the forest on a sunny evening is what I like best. But on top of that, today I got a wonderful surprise! A colourful salad made by the best daughter was waiting for us, and the table for set for dinner! How lucky am I?

I love rhubarb, the smell when it’s cut. It’s specific sour taste with crunchy sugar… Ok, it’s my childhood memory. The idealised taste of a sunny summer… These muffins are really just a French yoghurt cake put into muffin pan. It’s a very easy recipe. It is called yoghurt cake, but don’t be fooled that

Up until last week, I have seen these carrots in cooking magazines only. They were mentioned as ‘the forgotten vegetables’. Apparently carrots used to be violet and yellow but we no longer remember it! I am pretty sure they have been orange since I was little but maybe it was my grandma who forgot. Anyway,

You have to be born Polish to love them. Then you either love them truly or are ashamed that this is what Polish cuisine is about… Junior woke up one morning crying that he wants gołąbki! So despite the fact that I am not one of gołąbki lovers I bought the Chinese cabbage. Ingredients: Chinese
