    Summer cake with strained yogurt and biscuits

    Летен сладкиш с цедено кисело мляко и бисквити

    Before the summer heat passes, I would like to present you a very easy and quick dessert – SUMMER CAKE WITH STRAINED YOGURT AND BISCUITS. Just mix the ingredients and leave to harden in the fridge. And the jam glazing is optional, but it is good to have it, as it gives an extra fruity note and balances the taste. You can also replace the strained yogurt with plain thick yogurt, sour cream or a combination of both. Here’s the recipe and enjoy:

    Chocolate muffins with Irish cream frosting

    Шоколадови мъфини с глазура от сметана и Baileys

    Just like these wonderful CHOCOLATE MUFFINS WITH IRISH CREAM FROSTING, today is a special day for our family. Exactly 11 years ago, on a sunny, rainy afternoon on Holy Monday (the day after Easter), Maria appeared. I thank her for being there and for teaching us many lessons. We are celebrating! Have a nice day everyone! 🙂 And by the way, muffins are just unique! 🙂 The recipe is borrowed from the culinary website https://www.homecookingadventure.com Here it is:

  • Italian cuisine,  Main dishes with ground meat,  Pasta

    Lasagna Bolognese with macaroni (Pasticio or Pasta Pasticciata)

    Лазаня Болонезе с макарони

    Here is another Saturday temptation –  in Italian way with the most delicious Bolognese and Béchamel sauce as in the wonderful lasagna, and in our Bulgarian way – to use whatever pasta we have in the cupboard. Let’s not forget the delicious yellow crust on top. And you want – sprinkled on top with Parmesan… Well, here are my LASAGNA BOLOGNESE WITH MACARONI. Later I found out that in Greece it is called PASTICIO, and in Italy – Pasta Pasticciata. But no matter how they call it – it’s delicious, I guarantee you! Just try it! 🙂 Enjoy! 🙂 Here is the recipe:

    Quick cake with biscuits and apples from the old culinary notebooks

    Бърз сладкиш с бисквити и ябълки

    Hello, dear chefs! Today we will again have fun with a really easy cake, which was prepared a long time ago and I found in my old culinary notebook without any explanatory steps for preparation – only with the ingredients. It seems that most of the recipes were once only with the ingredients, because everyone knew how to prepare them and did not need much explanation. My favourite expressions “flour to medium soft dough” and “bake / bake in a moderate oven”. They were a complete mystery to me. Very often the flour was even missing in the products, because it implicips… 🙂 But there are no question how to…

  • Dough breakfast,  Italian cuisine,  Pizza and focaccias

    Fast puff pastry mini pizzas

    Бързи мини пици с бутер тесто

    Puff pastry has saved me more than once when I have to make something for breakfast. That’s why I almost always have at least one package in the fridge. Various shapes and fillings – rolled up as a snail, wrapped triangular or rectangular patties and other snacks. Here is today’s variation – QUICK PUFF PASTRY MINI PIZZAS. They disappeared in seconds! 🙂 Try it!

  • Cakes,  Old books recipes

    Cake with lemonade

    Кекс с лимонада

    Good morning, chefs! For today we dug up again a recipe from the old culinary notebooks – CAKE WITH LEMONADE. Very fast (no mixer or separating whites and yolks) and so delicious! And instead of yellow lemonade you can use any other type of carbonated soft drink – so each time the result will be different. Let’s enjoy it! 🙂

  • Bulgarian cuisine,  Old books recipes,  Pork main dishes

    Bulgarian polenta with bacon and cheese

    Качамак с пръжки и сирене

    Good morning, chefs! Today I will show you a recipe that my husband prepared – POLENTA WITH BACON AND CHEESE. He is a big fan of polenta and often makes it at home, and I play the role of an assistant – from time to time I replace him in the stirring and carry out orders :). Here is our typical Bulgarian polenta – with a lot of butter and extras 🙂 Enjoy! Try it! 🙂

  • Pork main dishes

    Oven roasted pork with potatoes and beer

    Свинско на фурна с картофи и бира

    Winter temperatures outside require something like pork in the oven with potatoes, but this time we will cook it with beer. Wow, delicious! I’m not very much into drinking, but I guess a nice beer will go with this dish! Or something else;)! I saw the idea for the recipe from the culinary youtube channel “Home cooking with Danny”. Enjoy your meal! 🙂 Here is the recipe:
