As much as I love spring, I adore autumn. And it finally came. This summer was really really hot, humid and all I want to remember are those days at Starnberger See. We moved to Munich in summer and now I have to deal with a tiny kitchenette with even tinier oven. I can’t wait…
Cardamom-Chocolate Cupcake
I made those cupcakes on my birthday this year. It was in April, so it took me 6 months to translate it. Well today is the day! I suppose there are so many people who celebrate birthday today or just love cupcakes. I hope it will make someone smiling.
Wholewheat cinnamon rolls (Kanelbullar)
It’s a Swedish recipe and I love it. Their sweet dough and a buttery, sweet and spicy smell is something you just can’t resist. The best thing about this recipe is its variance – you can omit cinnamon (yeah, after that it’s not a cinnamon roll anymore) and add cardamom, vanilla, chocolate, raisins or any…
Sour cream dessert with fresh figs
This is probably the easiest recipe I’ve ever written. It combines few fresh ingredients (sour cream and figs) with few cupboards ingredients (Bramley apple sauce, granola, and honey). All together it makes perfect breakfast, snack or dessert. You really wanna try this.
Palačinky (Crêpes / Czech pancakes)

Cause every kid loves palačinky (that’s plural)! Hot, warm, cold. With jam, curd filling, chocolate spread or fresh fruit.
Tvarohové buchty (Sweet buns with curd filling)
Tvaroh (adj. -ové) means curd, buchta (pl. buchty) means bun. Every Czech kid and probably even adult loves them. If you’re not a fan of curd, there’s another traditional kind of filling: plum jam with rum. Yes, Czech kids eat buchty with a small amount of alcohol. 🙂
Apple Crumble with Vanilla Custard
Who wouldn’t love crumble? It’s so easy but delicious dessert. Apples are actually not one of my favourite fruit. For a snack I prefer mango, berries, even pear. But when it comes to baking, almost nothing can beat apples. Pies, tarts, tartlets, cakes, even spicy cooked apples are great stuff (I’ll add this recipe later). And…
