Quinoa salad with roasted cashew nuts

My close acquaintance with quinoa happened a few years ago. I really liked the very kind of grains when they are cooked. Of course, this can only be my imagination, but for me they become like small shells of snails. Although the taste of quinoa for me personally is not particularly pronounced, it is possible to …

Beef salad with halloumi cheese

My most successful recipes appear when the guests are at the doorstep. So I prepared this salad on the go and it turned out to be my trademark. In it all those products that I really love: beef, fresh cucumbers, cheese Halloumi and onions. And this salad tastes of course oriental, as it was not …

German potato salad

Being from Belarus, the potato for me is like a bread. Without it, we can not imagine any single table. I’m accustomed to the taste of salads with mayonnaise, where our bulb plays our first violin. However, recently I discovered a completely new salad, originally from Germany. They say that the Germans are divided into …

I very rarely eat pasta. Not because I do not like, I just try to limit the amount of carbohydrates in my diet. That’s why I almost never cook salads with pasta. BUT! Yesterday I prepared a new very tasty and simple salad with it. Just a couple of ingredients and voila !!! It should …

Orient salad

So, the season of exotic fruits is open. I love their fresh smell and I just can not resist buying them. Recently I discovered a new fruit: a Chinese plum (loquats), little known in our country. The fruits are small, resembling apples, inside there are seeds. Taste like a sweet quince. Today I prepared a …

Salad with arugula and apple

Once upon a time … I had a restaurant where one of the main items on the menu were salads. Perhaps this is why the preparation of salads for me is a piece of cake: mentally I mix all the ingredients, add some seasoning and know exactly what taste should I get. And every time …

Spinach with pine nuts and raisins

There are few vegetables and plants in my diet, from which I always want to cook something special. Eggplants, pumpkin and spinach. Though first I tried spinach only when I moved to Poland. And it was cooked and served such way that I was not surprised that half of the population didn’t like it at …

Quick courgette & tomato warm salad

Dinner with two kids usually goes on the run. The main tasks for me – children to feed, wash and put to bed. And because their plans do not always coincide with ours, we often remain without dinner. In this situation, every minute counts, and quick recipes are more than welcomed. Today we had a …

Corn and pineapple salad

When I moved to Dubai, due to the abundance of all kinds of fresh vegetables and salads, I completely abandoned salads with mayonnaise, so popular in the countries with cold climates. But today, having looked into the refrigerator before dinner and evaluated its contents with a stern look, only one salad with mayonnaise dressing came …

Салат из авокадо и манго

Бывает, что в моей коллекции появляются “позаимствованные” или “подсмотренные” рецепты. Сегодняшний салат как раз из этой оперы. Мы были вчера на гриле и как обычно на таких мероприятиях, собралось там международное общество. Каждый внёс какую-то лепту в приготовление общего стола. И вот на этом столе я обнаружила настоящую жемчужину! И настолько простую, что сама не …

Meat salad in apples

New Year! This is a special holiday for me. And every time I, like a little girl, wait for gifts under the Christmas tree from Santa Claus. After all, faith works miracles. The more we believe in something, the faster our desire will come true. When I’m in such a festive mood, I take great …

Beetroot and herring salad in eggs

Often inspiration draws its roots from completely unrelated things, objects, people or spheres. In my case, it caught up with me right in a store, where a new collection of clothes with seams facing out was presented on mannequins. Inside out (or vice versa) – this expression can often be found in fashion. On the …

Surimi rolls

When you live in a country for a long time, over time you adopt a way of behavior and habits, including culinary ones, even those that at first seemed strange. I lived in Poland for a very long time, where Christmas is festively celebrated, gifts are given to everyone, and tables are bursting with various …

Surimi salad in cucumber baskets

If you’ve ever been on celebration of Russian New Year or you are from Japan, than for sure you know what it is “SURIMI“. The funny part is that even sometimes surimi is called as “crab sticks”, it generally contains no crab (other than a tiny amount of crab extract that is sometimes added for …

Cheese roll with spring onions and surimi

Despite the household routine and responsibilities with two small children, my husband and I still manage to invite guests to our home and surprise them at the table with some specialties.

Sweet potato chips with zucchini and mascarpone

Recently, I have been experimenting in my kitchen a while. Here are some effects of my work – the original appetizer from sweet potato.

Avocado and Shrimps Salad

Salads are what we usually dine on. Every evening – a new salad, unlike the previous one. Very often I don’t have time to write down the recipe – the salad disappears faster than I can take a photo. However this time I managed to write down all the ingredients. Very delicious and perfect as …
