Hello Friends! I hope you're well! Easter Sunday is exactly a week away and so it must be time for a spot of Easter baking. I've got plenty of simple recipes to satisfy your sweet tooth and as you'll notice mini eggs are making frequent appearance as well. Unfortunately, vegan mini eggs I recommend in my recipes are no longer available (such a shame) but you can swap them for any chocolates/sweets you like. I also found these vegan mini eggs by Mummy Meegz (available in the UK) but I haven't...

Hello Reader Would you believe it's already Friday again! It seems like time has been using some sort of fast forward button recently. Anyway, I hope you are well and those of you in the UK have been basking in the sun this week. For me the spring is definitely here as this week marked my first load of laundry dried outside. As they say it's the little things in life, small pleasures right? π But it's time for this week's brand new recipe.... EASY GARLIC FLATBREAD. I love making flatbreads...

Hello Friends! I hope you're well! With Mother's Day on Sunday here in the UK, I thought I would share few recipes you might consider making to celebrate your mum, grandma, friend, sister, carer or any special woman in your life. Mother's Day in the UK keeps "moving" every year just like Easter and always falls on the 4th Sunday of Lent which this year happens to be 15th March. I know that for those of you in Australia or the US Mother's Day is not until the second Sunday in May and in Poland...

Hello Reader Happy Friday! I hope you're well! All that sun and spring weather this week has made me extremely productive and super energised and so most of the week I have spent cooking and photographing a bunch of new recipes. I always find that grouping my tasks makes me work better and so spending full day in the kitchen cooking, photographing and then another day editing and writing everything up works better then doing a little bit of both on the same day. Following on from my guide on...

Hello Reader Happy Friday! If you're in the UK, you might have enjoyed couple of glorious sun shining days earlier this week with some warm (as for the time of year) temperatures. It was such a welcome change after weeks of gloom and constant rain. It didn't last long but there is a definite shift in the air so hopefully spring is just around the corner now. π€ But where am I going with this weather related small talk? Well, even though we have finally seen the sun, general vibe is still...

Hello Reader Hope you had a good week and managed to enjoy a pancake or two on Tuesday as well! If you happen to be a parent of school age child(ren) in the UK, you know that it was half-term week this week which meant kids at home. With weather being hit and miss we have been somewhat limited but have tried to get some fresh air every day and I even managed to do some work which is always a bonus when they're at home. As you could already see from the title, today's newsletter and this...

Hello Friends! I hope you're well! It seems as if it was only yesterday I shared my fabulous festive bakes with you and it's already time for pancake recipes to enjoy on Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day) this coming Tuesday 17th February. π₯ I've got quite a few pancake recipes on the blog, nothing new on this occasion, but all the oldies are real goodies so I hope you find something you like. Also sometimes you simply can't beat classics. Enjoy and have a great weekend! Jo Ps. And if you don't...

Hello Reader Happy weekend! Hope you had a good week! I've been trying hard to get ahead with work this week as we've only got one week to go before kids break up for week long half-term break. My intentions were good but then I got some beautiful Seville oranges and spent a day making marmalade (it's a lengthy but satisfying process) and that was me getting ahead... on preserves, work not so much. Quality control marmalade tasting. I have managed, however, post a fantastic new recipe on the...

Hello Reader Hope you had a good week! After last week's sweet treat in the form of very unseasonal Polish Pierniczki π this week is all about bold, savoury, umami flavour in the shape of meat-free sausage rolls. I know, I know, if there is no meat in them they shouldn't be called sausage rolls. Well, I'm sticking with sausage rolls as to me it's just semantics and I highly doubt anybody will be confused as to the content of said sausage rolls after reading/hearing Tofu & Mushroom Sausage...
