This is a quick breakfast post in response to Helen’s Breakfast Club challenge this month hosted by Helen herself over at Fuss Free Flavours. The theme this month is cereal and we are asked to do something interesting with it. So, I made homemade ‘granola’ using rolled oats very lightly coated with honey, rapeseed oil [...]
Fresh Pasta with Asparagus, Goat’s Cheese and Lemon
May 27, 2011 By 8 Comments
I was challenged by the lovely Giulia of Juls’ Kitchen to make fresh pasta for this month’s Monthly Mingle. This was such an exciting challenge for me, since I recently took a pasta class with Katie Caldesi to learn exactly how to make it although since taking the class I hadn’t put my new found skills to the test. So, the question [...]
Chive Scrambled Eggs on Rye with Local Goat’s Cheese
May 26, 2011 By 9 Comments
I don’t often share breakfast posts, usually because we are in too much of a hurry in the mornings, but very often breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. When I was young, whenever my dad made breakfast, he would always make scrambled eggs with chopped chives, in Polish ‘szczypiorek‘ - try saying that before [...]

I’m going to make you very hungry… This week has been another busy week, and inspired by my recent pasta making course (post to come), I turned my hand to the art of making home made pizza. Just like the pasta, now that I have made my own from scratch, I feel very reluctant to buy it from the shop [...]
Homemade Polish ‘poured’ noodles
January 17, 2011 By 6 Comments
It’s Monday again, and I’ve been experimenting once more in the kitchen with a meat-free recipe for Polish noodles or Kluski. In Poland, (along with many other Eastern European nations) dumplings are a traditional dish and they can take many forms. Pierogi are the most popular in Poland. They are hand made, little pockets of dough filled [...]
Lovely Lentils & Homemade Labneh

So, we are a week into the new diet ‘Healthy Eating Plan’ following the Christmas and New Year binge and things are going well. To keep myself focused, I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen, rather than taking part in the usual daily snack-athon. This week, I’ve made a healthy Middle Eastern dish called Lebneh, which is a [...]
