I had been looking for kale for a while here in Budapest. We love to shop at the nearby Hunyadi tér market, which unfortunately does not stock kale and neither do any of the nearby supermarkets (perhaps there is not too much demand for it!). Last weekend, we decided to pay a visit to Mom BioPiac, a…

Little rainbows
This photo was taken on one of my morning walks on a crisp sunny day last January. The peacefulness of this place in winter is something I really like and on this particular day, the little rainbow generated by the fountain was the cherry on the cake! 🙂
2 years ago today…
2 years ago today we celebrated a somewhat unusual Valentine’s Day… It was the day we reached the summit of Kilimanjaro, the highest free standing mountain in the world. After 8 days on the mountain and a cruel trek starting from our last campsite at 2am, we managed to reach Uhuru peak, all in good spirit. Even though…
A Glimpse of Budapest
I have been in Budapest for over a year now. Living here has been a great experience so far 🙂 I spend a lot of my time exploring different parts of the city, tagging my camera along. Budapest is rich in architecture, so this very often features as subject matter of my photos. Here are few…

Shortcrust Pastry
We love savoury pies… and you cannot have a good pie without a good crust! I always remember my mother at home making the pie crust herself from scratch. Even though you can find store bought pastry at every grocer/supermarket, I still prefer to make it myself. It is very easy to make, requires very few…
Our little furry munchkin
For those who do not know her personally, let me introduce you to Flora… our little companion, a very loyal and trustworthy friend. Our relationship started just over two years ago, in October 2013. My then husband-to-be and I wanted to adopt a dog. Since we were children, we were always surrounded by various pets…
