What do you bring back home from holiday? I am this kind of person that always goes to local supermarkets. I love shopping for groceries in new places. Discovering all the spices, condiments, comparing mayos. Now, in Austria we have Mozart Kugel. There is an abundance of other things, but these little chocolate balls filled […]
An emergency cake for everyone who is in a hurry and is facing closed shops. Chances are – all ingredients are already at home. A cake not too sweet, easy to make and always impressive.

Just look at the abundance of Knoedel, Nockerl, Kaiserschmarrn (it has a complicated name but is, in fact, an omelette gone wrong), all the Groestl etc. It is no different with this recipe. This simple dish is an […]
Hearty sweet potato soup with a hint of chilli, perfect for cold days or when we get tired of root vegetables in winter.
