I have been to Germany several times now, mostly visiting my husband’s family. In the morning, they often spoil us with warm Pretzels, a selection of cold cuts and cheeses. When on holiday, they are the best thing that you could ever want accompanied by a cup (or two!) of strong drip coffee. I was…

Double Chocolate Spiced Zucchini Muffins
For the past couple of weeks, zucchini have been quite cheap at the markets here in Budapest. Hence, we have been consuming quite a lot of them in various savoury dishes. I have seen a lot of recipes incorporating this summer vegetable in cakes, bread and muffins. At first I was hesitant to try and…
Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
I recently posted the recipe for Oat and Ginger cookies, however I understand that ginger does not appeal to everyone. I have another favourite cookie recipe, one that includes chocolate… I am sure most of you reading this like chocolate. 🙂 It is easy to see why this cookie is another favourite of ours. It…

Savoury Cornbread
Until recently I had never tried cornbread. Of course I had heard of it before but it is not popular at home or here in Hungary. We were recently invited to a friends’ house and they offered us cornbread. It was fluffy, moist and super delicious. My husband and I really liked it.. a lot!…

It consists of a traditional Maltese loaf or a ftira (a round flat-ish bread similar to ciabatta) spread with kunserva (a sweet tomato paste), and topped…

Vegetable Sushi Rolls & Nigiri
I know that traditional sushi is not for everyone. But the recipe below is different and you should at least have a look at it before saying No! 🙂 Sushi is often associated with raw fish. However, it is sometimes also served with cooked meat and/or vegetables. In Budapest, a land which is quite far…
Pizza time!
Pizza is enjoyed by everyone, from kids to adults. The best thing about it is that it can be personalised and topped with your favourite toppings. You can get store-bought pizza dough at most supermarkets, roll it out and put your desired ingredients on top. But what if you could make your own pizza dough…
Spinach, Mushroom & Kimchi Pies
Since last Autumn, we had been experimenting with making our own kimchi at home. The first attempt was way too garlicky, which made the whole thing past the edible zone. Over time, the experiment has come a long way and we are happy with the latest batches that we made. Once you get the hang…
