Pimientos Padrón Project – Part 2
Click here for Part 1! Status report on the Pimientos Padrón Project: started with 24 seeds altogether – about half of them survived the “kindergarten”.

My California Chicken
Chicken again you say… I say the BEST EVER chicken dish! At least, the best that came out of my kitchen. Ever! A full healthy-hearty meal in one pan that is not only easy to make but sure to impress on a cold May day (or any day, really) Please don’t judge this dish by … Read more
The Easiest Oven Baked Garlic Shrimps
There was a beautiful box of shrimps at the store the other day and I was ‘allowed’ to buy it on condition that I peel them for both me and my Mr. Well this surely won’t stop me, really not a big deal doing it for 2 – I’d probably think about it if I … Read more
Cinnamon-Berry Swirl Buns
I had a small box of fresh blueberries the other day and after having used a handful of it over the course of a few days (mixed into natural yoghurt, with some nice muesli – my favorite breakfast really!) I though it is time to do something else with what was left of this amazing … Read more

Surimi Crabstick Patties
Since the turmoil around the horse meat in the supermarkets we are reluctant to buy ground meat but this has put me into an uncomfortable situation, because meatballs made of ground meat are not only one of my favorites but also a to-go meal for any occasion. Easy, fast and delicious. Now, without ground meat, … Read more
Greek Easter Sweet Twisted Bread
I was sure I wanted to prepare a sweet bread this Easter as well, as it is a Hungarian tradition (and so good!!), but I also wanted to change the tried and perfect recipe a little bit. Wandering about a couple of blogs I came by a Greek recipe for sweet bread (Tsoureki), that perfectly … Read more
Hungarian Green Pea ‘Thick Soup’ or Zöldborsófőzelék
I do not like to make complicated dishes. Sometimes I may get tempted by a recipe or two (or rather, a photo!) and set out on the culinary journey to create the same at home, but most of the time I’m making the fastest, easiest, simplest dishes (this of course does not mean that they … Read more
