Super Easy Tomatoes and Cheese Galette
Hey everyone! What's on the menu?:) I usually don't like to cook on a weekend, but for example, ordered food is more like a guilty pleasure for me. That's why I decided to share a very easy recipe of a tomato and cheese galette (pie/quiche/tart) that I sometimes bake on Sunday morning. It's delicious, simple, fresh and good enough to…

The Best Seasonal Pumpkin Soup
Ahhh, Autumn. I love that light, smell, colors, fresh air (and even rainy days, sometimes). Cozy sweaters, stylish coats, tea the whole day, time for movies, books and tons of good food. One word: hygge. I know, that it might sound totally bromidic, but I cant do anything with that. Fall gives me mood swings, gentle inner vibrations, bad sleep and cold …

That One Blueberry Meringue Pie

It was lemon meringue pie for 'The Toast' movie. Since then my cooking and baking skills improved, I became more confident, but also more demanding towards myself. Last year I had no…

Strudel for Shoshanna
A few weeks ago I spent another wonderful time with Inglourious Basterds . There's a scene when brave Shoshanna meets her biggest SD Standartenführer Hans Landa face to face. This scene is one of my favorite in the entire film, because of it's huge tension. Hans Landa orders strudel, 'not so terrible one'. So I got really inspired …

American Horror Story: Cupcakes for Bette and Dot
I've waited for quite long time to finally bake my first cupcakes. And because I'm not a big fan of that kind of desert, the only thing I was doing is putting paper forms from one place to another. But when I saw pink (but very and very dangerous in the show!) cupcakes in "American Horror Story: Freak Show", I thought that this is it.…

Orange Is The New Black: Red's No-Bake Correctional Cheesecake
Red is one of my favorite characters in 'Orange Is The New Black'. For those who missed out this TV series somehow, 'OITNB' tells us a story about female prison and destinies of characters, who got there for some reason. Red is a chef there (mmm, actually that's not her only job, but still:) and no one dares to say something bad…

Or better say: 'Labor Day' Peach Pie (Upgraded). First of all, I really have to say, that I enjoyed the film ' Labor Day ' (2013) very much.

Cooking With Hannibal: Rack of Sacrificial Lamb
Well, 'Hannibal' season 2 is over. Someone got more, than expected from the season finale, someone really waited for more...mmm...sophisticated ending, but those who didn't miss out the very last scene (in the airplane!) were a bit confused and surprised. Now we only need to wait for what the next season will bring to us. Personally, I&…
