CLAFOUTIS WITH CHERRIES

I love them so much that I couldn’t resist making a cake in their season. Their Highnesses in the main part – the Cherries! Clafoutis with cherries is a light and airy French dessert which would impress everybody with the way it looks. The classic clafoutis is made with cherries or sour cherries. But if you want to escape the classic you may use other summer fruits like apricots, peaches, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. The batter for this dessert is similar to the pancakes’ batter and it has to be with the same consistency. Another thing you could experiment with...

BANANA BREAD

What are you doing with the ugly dark bananas which no one wants to eat?  I cut and freeze them because there is no other moment when a banana is sweeter. After that I use them for banana bread like this one or for a smoothie.

Food photos with a phone

We live in a time when everybody’s almost constantly holding a phone. If they are not looking at photos they are probably taking one. I myself am taking photos with my phone all the time. I am photographing my child, my coffee, the autumn leaves, landscapes, kitten, pigeons, sunsets (rarely sunrises) and everything that catches my sight somehow. I am happy that I don’t have to carry a camera which weights kilogram and a half to capture wonderful moments. We can also make food photos with a phone of course. If you are fed up cooking delicious dishes which are...

I wanted to have different forms for photographs and one of the cakes is with icing and the other one is not. Which one is your favourite? I would say that...

APPLE PIE

Pie is a dish made of crispy and flavored dough and some juicy aromatic filling. There are different types of pies both sweet and salty. One of the most popular types is the apple pie. I decided to make a healthier variation of that pie and I didn’t use any refined sugar and white flour in this recipe. SPELT In this recipe I used whole-grain spelt flour. Spelt is a crop used since the ancient times. Later it is moved aside by wheat because it could not be artificially fertilized and this doesn’t allow high yields. The bran of the...
