Simple, Fresh, Crunchy Coleslaw
We normally try to eat healthy but sometimes we just get attracted to a big bucket of KFC chicken – well, we are all humans 🙂 I like their crunchy cereal coated chicken but what I really adore is the coleslaw. We ever miss to buy a few bowls when we go there, however I … Continue reading
Ensalada de Endivias, Langostinos y Frutas
My Mr’s mother has spent a couple of weeks with us at the end of last year and she has prepared some meals that I’m happy we didn’t miss to photograph. This salad, typically consumed at New Year’s Eve in my boyfriend’s family, is a perfect example. A fresh salad, complete with crunchy endive, shrimps, … Continue reading
Hungarian Cucumber Salad
Diane asked for more Hungarian recipes once so here we go 🙂 This simple cucumber salad is a staple in my grandmother’s kitchen.

Guacamole
I read somewhere that you should try something new every week (or was it month, day, year? Whatever!) So I thought it is time to try Guacamole. Now, the only problem is that I tried avocados once and did not like it at all. For me somehow it tasted like Play-doh. Anyway we had a … Continue reading

The mother of my Mr is spending a couple of weeks with us here in Hungary and while she is hoping to see some snowfall (unfortunately very unlikely, winter seems to be very mild this year) we are enjoying her great Spanish cooking skills. This dish, the “Sanfaina”, is a kind of vegetable stew, loaded … Continue reading
