Pickled cucumber

For my birthday we ate some delicious burgers in Bratislava, that had homemade pickled cucumbers on them. My husband and I loved them, so we decided to try to recreate them at home. There are many ways you can make pickled cucumber, adding different ingredients to make them taste more […]

 

Scones

Scones are originally made to be enjoyed next to tea, but I believe you can enjoy them at any time. Such a simple and delicious recipe! They are often eaten with clotted cream and jam, but as they are not too sweet, you can also just eat them with butter, […]

 

Winter cake

Smoked salmon Canapés

These are some of my favourite Canapés to prepare when we have a small party at home. They can also be eaten as Appetizers for a lovely dinner. The combination of the lemony cream and smoked salmon is so good, that you would like to eat them all.
