There is an Icelandic word “Gluggaveður” which means the weather ideal for watching through the window. As for me, the whole winter is gluggaveður… Snow is wonderful, when it not sticks to the glasses, do not settle on a scarf, cap, gloves, if not melting and freezing your mouth and hands. Frost creates a … [Read more…]
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…]

And this place was a bookcase. Actually, a lot of bookshelves, spread throughout the apartment. Fiction proudly flexed on most … [Read more…]

From recipes, through technical professional literature, to popular literature, with a fleeting touch of Iberian poetry and hint of Mayakovsky. I like … [Read more…]

But I am very proud of myself, that I was able to buy greem large-sized bean (in polish it’s mammoth beans) on the market. I really like green … [Read more…]
When I decided to give up the dairy (and eggs), it seemed to me, that the hardest thing will be not eating cheeses. I was already familiar with nut cottage cheeses (cashew, peanuts or walnuts), but I had hard times to imagine life without a slice of cheese. Life verified my fears and expectations. … [Read more…]
Breakfasts are not my forte. I like to eat them. I also remember about them and rarely leave the house without a morning meal, but I’m not particularly creative in this regard. Yogurt with pine syrup and fruit. Raw buckwheat porridge. Or another version of the overnight porridge. I heat it up in the … [Read more…]
