Before in May tons of asparagus take over my kitchen, in April we enjoy another tasty plant: Bear’s garlic. Of course, the best way to get it is to collect it yourself in the woods or your own garden, but if you don’t have a garden (or woods) you just go to the supermarket and … [Read more…]
I can hardly believe that March is over and that I managed to make only two posts in the past month 🙁 Well the second part of the month I was basically on the road and I could not drag myself into writing, cooking and not to tell about painting. I’m not proud of it … [Read more…]
Last weeks I was busy with painting and preparing brushes posts. And I would love to put another canvas on the easel but sometimes my human hunger takes over on the creativity hunger and I put pots on the stove. Well, in this case, it was more swinging the knife on the cutting board. As … [Read more…]

I prefer the potato wedges made in the oven with some olive oil and rosemary… It doesn’t … [Read more…]
Believe it or not but I don’t remember when I last time bought bread. I switched totally to the baking bread (or breaking bad?) modus since I decided to pay even more attention to what we eat. It’s not that I don’t trust the bakeries. I don’t say that they are not good all over, … [Read more…]
I can still remember when my Grandma made them… These delish sweets are next to pączki the typical companion of every polish carnival party. And because PB&co celebrate the 6 months of being online, I decided to make something special for you. But I have to warn you, this is nothing that you prepare in … [Read more…]
