Some time ago I saw on Figa’s blog perogi (dumplings) with carrots (click). It enchanted me, and I knew that I must make them. I hate making perogi with passion. I like a lot of stuffing, so I usually ends up with a small disaster – I put too much stuffing, the edges of … [Read more…]
When I went this morning to the gym, I was struck by strange thought – it’s October and wheather is as in late November. Instead of the golden Polish autumn, we have freezing and frozing drizzle, blustery wind, it’s so cold and the sky is dirty gray. Here and there a tree with still … [Read more…]
Yesterday evening I discovered that autumn has arrived completly unnoticed. Although on farmers market reign pumpkins and chanterelles, hundreds of varieties of apples and pears, plums “perfect for the jam”, but the days are sunny and warm (even hot). Although I’m closing the window for the night and I’ve pulled a blanket out of … [Read more…]
Sometimes it happens that reason loses with joy. Because there are things that I like to do and things that I need to do or should. I like to read. Basically everything. From recipes, through technical professional literature, to popular literature, with a fleeting touch of Iberian poetry and hint of Mayakovsky. I like … [Read more…]

There was a few days of sun, warmer days, there are already crocuses and snowdrops, and today in the morning again snow and frost. And so I charm spring with greens, trying … [Read more…]
I bought the last couple of cans described as “Kala Chana,” or brown chickpeas in salted water. Chickpeas (and other legumes) are our top one on winter food list. They go into soups, stews (casseroles), fillings, pies. All shapes and colors of beans are ideal. I have eaten brown chickpeas before, but cold and in … [Read more…]
It started with an idea. I decided to make blackberry tart for lunch. On crispy, spelt crust. With goat cheese seasoned with fresh oregano and green pepper. With blackberries, of course. The plan was fantastic and the only thing I missed were blackberries. I went to the market where … there was no blackberries. Nowhere. … [Read more…]
At the beginning of the year I promised myself, and You, that posts on the blog will be more frequent and more regular. Since then, life has verified my plans several times, throwing at my feet more or less “road bumps”. This time delayed entry is my carelessness. I thought that the summer is a … [Read more…]
Do you know this state of mind that occurs when someone innocently say, “tell me a story” or “tell me a joke”. And suddenly, the brain shut itsel and the only conscious thought is, “but which one?”. And, even you are a scholar or a professional comedian, in your head is only ringing emptiness. Yes, … [Read more…]
