Noodles are one of the best dishes for kids. Kids love them plain, with sauces, with meat or with vegetables, fried and boiled. Our kids prefer them to have in Japanese style: with some basic vegetables and home-made sauce. It is the winner for lunch box as well.
Every evening 5 days per week I pack lunch-boxes for my son. He smells everything before even try, so no products with strong smell in a box (no cheese, no cabbage, no cooked veggies, etc). But what makes me really happy that he loves Japanese and Korean food, which I passion about. So this time …
And again back to school! Time for lunch boxes. For our son, a lunch box is always a surprise. It became a tradition that the contents of this wonderful box in its entirety never repeat itself. And that’s exactly what Denis likes. Every time he opens a lunch box, he does not know what awaits …
Thinking about how to use white cabbage we’ve bought recently I kept in mind few ideas. But when we were face to face to each other, I changed my decision completely. Actually I managed to cook two different meals from the same dish base. Here is one of them. Few facts: do you know that …
For all CHEESE fans! To be honest, it is the best tart I’ve ever eaten! Not that I praised myself, but this recipe turned out to be a glory! A tart with caramelized apples and various kinds of cheeses is a water-mouthing dish! And don’t look that the recipe is a bit long – it’s …
As I mentioned many times – meat is not my strongest point in the kitchen. It is my husband who takes the Best Meat Chef’s role and serves delicious dishes to all our family. But he is travelling a lot and sometimes I stay with meat face to face! This was my first time with …
Chicory is one of the products that I have always bypassed in the shop. This time I decided to give myself a chance to create something eatable from it. As you know the taste of chicory is very specific and bitter. To reduce bitterness I put chicory in a sweetened water for few hours. It …
After amazing holidays in my parents house in Belarus and house of my parents-in-law in Poland it is time to come back to my own kitchen. I really missed my island of invention! As our back flight was from Poland, we bought in Warsaw airport some traditional meat products, incl. sausages, without any conservatives, which …
I love Thai cuisine! Not too spicy, full of taste and colors. When cooking at home I don’t use chili pepper as we share Thai food with our young kids. So if you love spices just add few chili peppers while marinating shrimps and cooking them in coconut oil. Enjoy!
I have tried so many recipes and combinations to made pancakes and crêpes, when finally developed my own one, preferred by my kids. Because it’s our kids who are the biggest consumers of this dish. Denis and Nikita love eating crêpes with pure sugar (with big crystals, when it crunches on the teeth) or with …
Who said that beautiful plating is only for restaurant? When food looks pretty and appetite it even tastes better. And no, I don’t try copy great chefs or restaurants’ trends in plating. It is like painting… I just put my soul and love to each dish, each plate. Bon appetite!
Holidays on the way. And then it is easy to feel relaxed and forget about any food restrictions. To be prepared for this I do sometimes days without gluten, fried, baked, fat food and sweets (except some fruits). It is based on my own experience and needs of my body. Listen to your body and …
Time to time an inspiration finds me by itself and push to create something tasty in my kitchen. Yesterday the impulse came from the school needs. For the school year end party parents have to choose something from the list prepared by teachers and bring it to the school. As I came late the only …
I have finished my gluten-free day with a vegetable salad with beef (left-over Bulgogi from yesterday). But accually any protein can be served here – chicken, lamb, beef, pork, tofu, whatever you have and like.
Continuing my gluten-free meal plan, I cooked for myself substantial portion of tuna salad for lunch. It has everything I need to give my body the power and strength for the rest of the day, till dinner.
I think this is one of product that I really love to eat, but feel disgusted with liver while cooking. The rest of the family run away from the kitchen when hearing I am going to cook it. But even this doesn’t stop me! Because chicken liver with apples is just delicious! Worth to try!
This is when your dreams come true and you get your piece of heaven with a cup of tea. This beauty had a rest in the fridge for whole night to give us pleasure in the morning. For the base, it is better to use any shortbread cookies or if you like some sweet & …
While thinking about family one-pot dishes, few come into my mind. Well, on the first place is always rich, creamy and flavorsome LASAGNA. You can make the filling in advance and assemble the lasagna on the day. Originally it comes from the city of Naples, layered with local sausage, small fried meatballs, hard-boiled eggs, ricotta …
