Pumpkin cupcakes - dyniowe babeczki

Welcome food lovers!

I'm presenting you my very first recipe containing pumpkin, all caused by a coincidence in which I've bought a few kilograms of it. Happens all the time, am I right? Some of it became a pasta sauce, some of it was frozen, but most transformed into these delicious cupcakes. Follow the recipe:

What to eat in Budapest?

Hi guys!

I had an opportunity to visit the capital city of Hungary this summer and for 4 days I've been delighting in the taste of local cuisine. I would like to present top 5 foods, that are essential (at the same time absolutely delicious) to try in Budapest. I have to outline that my option is mostly based on one-time attempt in certain place, so it's totally subjective. Let's get started!

Co zjeść w Budapeszcie?

Witam serdecznie w nowym poście!

Podczas ostatnich wakacji miałam przyjemność odwiedzić stolicę Węgier i przez 4 dni rozsmakować się w lokalnej kuchni. Poniżej przedstawiam 5 potraw, których spróbowanie jest absolutną koniecznością, a jednocześnie wielką przyjemnością! Chciałabym jednak podkreślić, że ich smak jest oceniany najczęściej po jednorazowym spożyciu w danym lokalu, zatem oczywiście lista jest subiektywna.

Carrot bread - chlebek marchewkowy

Welcome to another recipe!

Carrot bread may be mistaken for the sweet nature of banana bread, but there's no similarity in that matter, as the first one is an (extra)ordinary piece of sandwich etc. Its benefits include exceptional taste, crispy outside and soft inside with carrot slices.
The following recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's totally worth it. Main ingredients are patience and time.

Zucchini fritters - placuszki z cukinii

Warmly welcome back!

This recipe is as easy as it gets and requires about 20 minutes in which only 5 for actual preparation. The genesis is quite common - I forgot to put one ingredient while making zucchini fritters from a polish cooking book. 

Cynamonowe bułeczki

Kto nie lubi wchodzić do kuchni wypełnionej zapachem cynamonu i zajadać się jeszcze ciepłymi cynamonkami, niech pierwszy rzuci... ciastem?

Te słodkości wykonane z poniższego przepisu są przepełnione maślano-cynamonowym kremem, który pozwala na zachowanie miękkiego wnętrza przy kruchości zewnętrznych warstw. Cynamonki są przepyszne "na sucho" jak i maczane np. w kakao, idealnie nadają się na szybką przekąskę czy mały deser (pamiętajcie, że liczą się wymiary, a nie ilość!). 

Summary of 2017 - podsumowanie roku 2017

Welcome warmly to the last post of that year!

Cream of roasted peppers and tomatoes soup - zupa krem z pieczonej papryki i pomidorów

 Welcome warmly!

A colder part of the year, which is autumn and winter, has already started, so we need more energy and warm dinners. Vegetable soups are a great source of both, so I will present you a recipe for my favorite creamy soup, inspired by a dish in a restaurant that unfortunately no longer exists.

Besides its beautiful, intense color, it has an addictive, delicious taste. Spicy tastes amateurs can season it with a pinch of chilli.
