The shrimp risotto I’ve made recently was considered by my friend to be the best risotto she has ever had 🙂 This comment was like honey to my ears 🙂 I admit, however, that I could not disagree with her. The risotto turned out to be creamy and delicate. Prawns harmonised perfectly with garlic, peas…
Coconut panna cotta is my latest discovery. I wish I had made it before. Italian panna cotta in its basic form is nothing but a mixture of double or whipped cream, a bit of sugar, vanilla and gelatin. The cream can be partially replaced with milk – the panna cotta will then become lighter and…
Eggplant and chickpea salad is a Mediterranean-style salad. Light and without mayonnaise or cream added, it will be a delight for all who like these type of dishes. When I look outside my window, the weather is hot and there seems to be no end to the warm days. During such times a dishes made from…
Joghurt cake, as the name suggests, is based on natural joghurt. Fruit in joghurt is not a surprising phenomenon. It is the same with this cake – fruits, in this case raspberries, combines perfectly with a joghurt based cake. This cake mixture is light and moist. You can eat it without end 🙂 You can…
Fries have a huge fan base. You can find them in practically every restaurant as a garnish. Some people also like having fries in themselves with some dips or only sauce. Fries are not the healthiest food, because unfortunately they are deep fried in oil. And what to do if someone cannot eat fried food?…
Tasting pasta with spinach, feta cheese and pine nuts has left me in a fantastic mood after dinner. 🙂 My boyfriend liked this pasta so much he ate it for three days in a row 🙂 In fact, I made enough for a small army so he had no choice – but he didn’t protest…
Every day I drink a lot of mineral water, necessarily non-carbonated. I go for juice much less often. When I do, I prefer home-made ones to the various types of boxed juice, syrups and beverages in the shops. Isn’t it better to buy fresh fruits and make your own shakes and smoothies by yourself? Beverages,…
I made this egg spread with tuna and watercress for yesterday’s breakfast. Spreads can be made from eggs, cheese, baked vegetables, raw vegetables, fish and a whole lot of other vegetarian and meat ingredients. These spreads are perfect for breakfast – they are filling and provide us with energy for at least a few hours….
Chilli con carne is an ideal dish if you fancy minced meat. Sometimes the question is asked on various culinary forums – what to do with minced meat. And the author of the question precises – “just do not suggest schnitzels or pasta because I’m bored of them”. My answer is simple. I would suggest…
Baked potato skins is a dish which, despite its simplicity, is very tasty. For those who like simple dishes without meat, roasted potato skins will be a great find. You can simply serve them for a Friday lunch. But not only. I ate them served with dill sauce. Baked potatoes and sauce go together well….
I made this orange cake without baking for Saturday’s coffee. I do cakes without baking when I need something sweet quickly. Like when guests are coming and then the whole day is followed by sweets anyway 🙂 By making a cake without baking I save time by not having to bake and then cool it…
I do not know about you but for me kabanos salad is a total hit. Meat-based salads are always a good option when you want your guests to get full just by having salads. The only obstacle here might be them being vegetarians. I got the idea of making this salad after buying two packs…
