White cheese treasures
As Krysia is sending some tempting suggestions for a breakfast from Asia, I’ll concentrate on something polish, delicious and refreshing. I love international food, but as a real polish gal I can’t imagine my life without pierogi, polish style cottage cheese, ogórki or other typical and “to tasty to be real” products. Today something fast and easy to prepare. You will...

Ricotta pancakes
They say that whenever you’re feeling blue you should serve yourself a small treat. Something to make you feel better. I’m sick and couch attached for almost a week now and I miss my walks and social life. But ricotta pancakes made me feel quite good about myself. It tasted like a small cloud in your mouth, it’s delicate and juicy. Just perfect. I still can’t wait to go...

Add a chopped vanilla stick or two and shred, shred, shred until it will be nicely watery.

To make a long story short - I left my iPad in a train in the afternoon, realised it in the evening and found it the next day in the lost & found office on a station. This kind of things hardly ever happen, and my feelings went from being devastated and ashamed, through a big hope,...

Berry oatmeal
I miss summer from time to time and it’s fresh and juicy fruits and vegetables. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to ice skate through a frozen canal, but walking without five layers on me sounds good as well.
As a remaining of a summer I made a berry oatmeal. I used a frozen berries, not the fresh ones, but it was still delicious.

English crumpets
It was snowing the whole day yesterday and Amsterdam is just beautiful. Bikes and canals are covered with snow and I’m happy to see it, as the past winter months were nowhere near this view. Today’s recipe may be time consuming unless you have few round cookie cutters. Also with this amount to a dough you will make plenty of crumpets, so if it’s a breakfast for two you may want...

And if you want it to taste even better, add a bunch of cool...
