chorizo & bean winter soup
Another easy meal inspired by Davina McCall’s recipe. It reminds me a lot our Polish old school “fasolka po bretońsku”, made with butter beans, smoked sausage, root veggies and lots of tomato sauce. It definitely has this vibe but more on the spicy, smoky side. Even though my partner is not a fan of this…

easy Spring no bake tangerine cake
Although the weather outside right now doesn’t look like Springtime at all, let’s try to summon it with a light Spring-Summer dessert. Easter is coming soon and I think this kind of light, slightly exotic, no bake dessert will be perfect for this occasion. Today I would like to introduce you to one of my…

slowly cooked vegan cabbage rolls
This recipe was a total improvisation and actually it was made in the process of cooking. My idea was to make cabbage rolls with Quorn mince, because I wasn’t very keen to make cabbage rolls with pork or beef mince (pork mince cabbage rolls recipe). Don’t get me wrong, I love traditional cabbage rolls with…

hearty & warming lamb stew (with a slow cooking option)
January and February period I would say it’s the coldest in Scotland. Temperature doesn’t get very low in the city, but on the days when it’s very windy or wet, temperature around 0℃ might feel like good -6℃. It’s still not extremely cold, comparing to other European countries, but if you get used to milder…

I found this recipe at the beginning of our keto journey. We liked this dish so much, that it stayed in our menu for good. Mix of chicken, prawns and chorizo with warming and aromatic spices – that’s something we like a lot. Easy and quick one pot meal, full of good stuff – that’s…

I will give you today a recipe for Hungarian sausage prepared according to the Five Flavours principle. That’s a polish recipe from the old recipe book, written by polish author Anna Ciesielska, who was inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine. The author combines the wisdom of modern medicine with proper prevention and wisdom in nutrition based…

beef shin (shank) stew (or soup)
It’s fairly warm, summer season is almost here, but here in Scotland we still have some days with wind blowing like crazy and temperatures that you wouldn’t like to see in summer time (like today – it shows 10ºC). On the days like this you might need something warming and cheering for dinner, and this…

delicious beef shin (shank) rolls aka Silesian roulades
Today I would like to introduce you to traditional Silesian cuisine. This dish comes from southern part of Poland, and traditionally is served with choowy-goowy dumplings (made with potatoes and potato starch) and grated beetroots. Oh, and it’s amazing! Roulades are made with beef, which is quite pricey, so most often, at least at my…
