After all the easy and quick recipes, it is time for something more spectacular, in both the looks and the taste department. Before I get on with the tart though, I want to stress again, even though I state it in my bio, I am not a native English speaker. I have learned English as […]

I sometimes discover things in our fridge. Suddenly under a pile of salad there are tomatoes that have their best time behind them. It might be an unpopular opinion but I really dislike soft tomatoes. It brought misunderstandings into the household in the past if I hadn’t gone myself to choose the hardest, nearly green […]
I could not imagine life without potatoes. They are my favourite vegetable in the world. Potatoes are versatile, easy to cook with and very friendly towards many ingredients. Apparently the love for potatoes is a typical thing for Polish people, but I believe we are not the only ones who cherish this inconspicuous bulb. My […]

1,3 billion tons of food get thrown out every year. One would say “oh but this is for the whole world”. Let’s look closer then: in European Union we throw away on average 179 kg of food per person. That adds up to 89 millions of tons per year. Even closer: In Austria we throw away […]
I have a bit of an unresolved relationship with celery. I like the concept, but I don’t go crazy when I see it.
