Sometimes, at the end of the cooking week I find odd amounts of vegetables in the fridge. It might be half a zucchini, two carrots, maybe a quarter of celeriac. Too little to make something out of them separately, so… soup?

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 […]
Let’s continue our potato theme we’ve started last week. This goulash is not exactly a goulash. While the beef version you might be acquainted with has to simmer for hours in order to provide you with the softest meat possible this one is ready when the potatoes are ready. Which means the whole dish is […]
Austrians have their Tafelspitz and some fancy dishes but let’s be honest, they mostly love simple cooking. 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.

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 […]

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 […]
You know the rush, right? Christmas is just around the corner, and soon we will remember how many things are still not ready. I am rereading Slater’s “Christmas Chronicles” again this year and I just adore how he is writing about winter and holiday preparation time. He is also a great source of inspiration. I […]
When you hear “winter”, do you think “harsh, cold, and dark”? Let me, together with Nigel Slater, persuade you, it can be more than that. Last year I discovered the delicious book written by Slater “The winter chronicles”. It starts in November and narrates you through the whole winter, making winter lovers love this time […]
