Wake up coffee!

Everyone knows how hard it is to wake up very early in the morning and go to work or school... especially now, when it's still dark outside at 7.30 am... although I have those mornings every morning (doesn't matter the season of the year...)! ;)
One day I had discovered coffee which wakes me up straight away every time!



Just prepare your coffee as you like it (but without milk!) and add a little of fresh orange juice... I know it sounds weird - but trust me on this. It's very nice, smells incredible and it's very refreshing!
Bon appétit!

Christmas in Poland...

MERRY CHRISTMAS :)

As not all of you are Polish ;) here is some short info about Christmas traditions in Poland. Hope you will enjoy this little lecture...


First of all we celebrate Christmas on the 24th December.

Vegetable salad...

This is a traditional salad which can be found on almost all Polish tables. I remember preparing it with my parents when I was few years old. Sitting behind the table, chopping all the vegetables. We still make it for all holidays, birthday parties etc. I've just made one for Christmas... Hope you will enjoy it! Originally you should add green, canned peas too - but I realy don't like it...

Cinnamon cake - my beloved...

That's the type of cake I love the most! Very comforting and the smell is incredible... That cake is a real hit at my workplace - it's great as a birthday cake (you can top it with lots and lots of chocolate) and its biggest advantage is... that it's very simple and quick. You can make it in the evening after work... and just leave it in the oven till the next day - when you can pour lovely chocolate on top! What I sometimes do as well is to grate about 50g of dark chocolate 70% cocoa into the batter before baking. It gives that little extra chocolate hint! :)

Daddy's Christmas cookies...

This recipe is in my family for a long, long, long time. First my Granny used to make them - and she still does! I remember making those cookies with my Dad before every Christmas. Now, as I have moved out form my family home I can't imagine Christmas without those lovely little stars... Hope you will love it! You can make those even 2 weeks in advance and store in an airtight container!
You can easily divide the recipe by half, but I always use the whole quantities as the cookies are disappearing fast! ;)
