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 […]
Snacks & Co
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Scones are originally made to be enjoyed next to tea, but I believe you can enjoy them at any time.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
I created this recipe, because I wanted a cake with all the winter flavours, that could be prepare not only for Christmas, but also to enjoy it for the rest of the season. In Chile it’s tradition to eat “Pan de Pascua” for Christmas. In Europe they eat something similar, […]

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.
Tequila & Nachos
The perfect combination for a movie/game night at home. I’m obsessed with Nachos. I love them together with Margaritas, which are always delicious, specially if my husband prepares them for me. If you want it extra refreshing, I have an additional version for you. I always serve Nachos with my […]

This special recipe, has a secret ingredient, that maybe will sound strange […]
