Cake Pavlova

I admit honestly: I am a sweet tooth. Of course, with age you have to limit yourself in many ways. But there were times when I baked cakes, patties, cakes, etc. every week. Then, when I lived in Poland, I continued to discover new dimensions of confectionery art. It was there that I first tried …

Hello again to all cooking lovers. It is hard to write when everyone at home is a fan of “apple” products and literally snatch them from my hands. Here and now 7-month-old Nikita stretches his hands to my virtual keyboard on the iPad. Recently, I am often asked: when do I have time to cook? …

Cottage cheese rosettes

Recently, in our son’s kindergarten it was celebration of the National Day – the day of all nations.

It was prepared by the wonderful kindergarten workers. Parents should …

Corn and pineapple salad

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 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 …

Apple Charlotte Cake (eggs-free)
