In the photo you will probably see "pea", but I'm not sure as the seller couldn't explain  it in more details. It's not only beautiful, but also smells very nice :)


Which image do you like more and of course why? Chris doesn't like photos with 2.8 aperture, because of blur background.

To have different lightening in particular places I was running around with black sheets and covering the light, to expose only some parts. If there was anybody watching me, he would have laugh for sure, because the time I before the shoot was only 10 seconds.

Which one do you like the most and why?

Baked melva served with goat cheese and chives garnished with roasted, salted sunflower seeds.



If you want to see Christmas plating of melva or reed more information about the fish go to the christmas melva post.

Pumpkin season lasts for good :) I must admit that I did not know that there are so many dishes in which pumpkin can be used, like soups, pates, roasted pumpkin for dinner, but also sweet cakes or jam.



Which pumpkin dish do you like the most and why? What is your favourite recipe? Would you like to share it?

Recently I've been improving my design skills, that were a bit forgotten, as being a Java developer force you to use the other side of your brain ;) so I don't write as often as previously. The last task was to make images of a household item, mine was a broom. In Spain, as you may not know people like using traditional brooms, because in comparison to vacuum cleaners they don't make this "terrible" sound.

Some examples of the images I've made


starting from pictures, collages finishing with computer designs. For some of you it can be misleading, because using a tablet gives a lot more flexibility, like pen pressure, so that images may look like hand drawn.

Which one do you like the most? Which one do you find boring or low quality and why?

Good morning! Today for breakfast I have  prepared cereals with natural yogurt with seasonal fruits. Strawberries' season has just started and plums are still on the market, though quite different from the ones I know. A little candied peel to make it sweeter and more energetic.


Do not worry, this portion is so small only because of image purpose, we will have a bigger one ;)


My dad didn't like the lightening, so there is another much brighter picture. I need somebody to help me with ironing, I hate it so much ;) Which one do you like more?

I got crazy about coriander, I haven't even supposed that I would love this taste so much. It reminds me our trip to Nepal and my Indian friend I used to work with, Ranjitha, who was explaining differences in our culture and food. Today I have made a chickpea soup with curry, turmeric, ginger, fish sauce with red pepper and chopped coriander.


I wanted to have even more coriander ;) Do you know this taste? I think you will like it or hate it. The taste is pretty strong and strange, but I really recommend at least to give a try.

I was playing with food and I made a chessboard, the theme was beetroot and purple colour. The main dish is a terrine


on the following fields stand pickled beetroots with garlic and celery


Rice coloured with octopus


and pickled beetroots with bay leafs.


View from a different perspective.

Yesterdays spinach ended up on our plates with feta cheese and garlic, garnished with red onion and one fresh spinach leaf and pistachios, which I recently eat a lot.


With a special dedication to all that like green food.

I have to admit that I have never seen in Poland spinach with roots. I used to buy leaves in plastic bags or a frozen one, so when I saw at the market green leaves with strange roots, I didn't know what it was. Luckily merchants in Spain are very friendly and tell names, but sometimes it doesn't help at all, so they write them down, to check at home in the internet.

I can surprise you, but in the south of Spain people do not have heating, because the temperature during the night rarely decrease 10 degrees and during the day it is usually above 20, so they/we, because I also don't have a heater, open windows to warm houses.


Sometimes, as I get up very early and it is still cold I prepare warm food to warm myself up from inside. This time I made a triple chocolate pudding, since I used a chocolate pudding powder, I added high-percentage dark chocolate and dark cocoa. I used soy milk, to make it sweeter, if you want you can add honey or sugar. A slice of avocado to break taste was just enough for me.


Cold one is also good, because chocolate and cocoa have a lot of fat so it has a creamy consistency.

Everybody associates crepes with round shape of a frying pan and usually it's like this. However, when we were almost full eating regular ones we decided to play with the dough. This is the origin of my New Year's wishes.


I wish you good health, happiness, love, respect to each other, faith and understanding. I hope 2017 will be better than the previous one.


All this with all my heart I wish you. Have a little fun, at last even ding the most prosaic things you can be happy if you only want to.


Remembers, not only during Christmas, but everyday you need to give warmth and love, because every day is extraordinary, but you just need to see it.
