Lentil Pottage

Hi Dears,

So I've just brought You another Hungarian main course instead of a dessert as I would. 

Actually, I don't cook every day, but I love it as well as baking, just usually I don't need to cook. (I get lunch in the canteen at work, or my mom's or my boyfriend's mom cooks lunches in the weekends) But still, I learnt cooking for about 1,5 years in College, and whenever I have time, and have an empty-of-mothers kitchen I can cook. :)

And this one is a pottage, which is a side dish here.

 (And not a soup :) ) It's much more thicker, You should try. 

In the traditional restaurants they use thickening (with oil and flour) , in the modern ones they skip it, and they mix half of it with a blender to get it more thicker. But me, I prefer the thickening with milk + flour, You will see. 

Lazy whipped cream Cake

 

Hello! :) 

Would You like to make a great looking cake , which is easy, and requires about 30 minutes to make, without any baking talent? 

(Okay, this needs some hours to sit in the middle of the fridge), but honestly, this cake is the easiest of all. :) That's why I called it "Lazy".

I made it for my Daddy's 50 birthday. ♥

And in the old posts I called cookies as biscuits, but I got some comments asking if they were supposed to be the same or not. So, in my blog yes. :D Because I thought the only difference was British or American English I was using  . But I just learnt that biscuit means a real different dinner roll type as well, that I would call scones, so.. If I was confusing using the word 'biscuits' a lot in the previous post, sorry. :) You can use any type of cookies for these recipes. :)

And I really liked this cake, especially with a big cup of milky coffee. (I even put a ball of it to the top of my coffee once, so You can use it for extra comfort in the morning as well, besides the regular cake form. :D 

Sacher Cupcake

Hello Again! :)

I've chosen to be the representative of Hungary in an international recipe eBook. Yay! :D

(I don't know how popular  a recipe eBook can be nowadays? Personally, I haven't got any... And to be honest I don't have an eBook reader, neither. I prefer reading real books. But still... This makes me so proud. :D ) 

And as I have found my lost recipes, I can share them with You now. :) Like this Sacher Cupcakes.

I made them for my colleagues' birthday, which was one day before mine, so we had a group celebration at the hotel. And the inspiration came also from them, as my colleague has a secret Sacher recipe...

I don't know if I can tell the secret, but... Here is it:

 Step 1: Grab the brownie from the canteen.

Step 2: Cut it up horizontally.

Step 3: Fill it with jam. 

That's it... :D 

So, honestly, mine is a little bit more complicated,  as we didn't have brownies at home, just simply ready. 

But it's easy, and fun. And as I have a Sacher Cake on the blog with the original recipe (You can check) I decided to make them in cupcakes. :) Cheers!

Cake with Cocoa Rolls

Hello! How are You? :) 

I have big changes in my life. I moved in with my boyfriend ♥ (partly). So that's the reason of my missing, and another, that because of the lots of packing I lost some of my recipes... 

But don't worry, I have them now. :) So for example this cake was my idea to bake. I thought it would be like the Cocoa rolls from the bakeries, but actually it tastes more like a dense cake.

Coffee & Marzipan Biscuits with chocolate on top

Hi! :) 

Do You like biscuits?

This one I baked for our 4th anniversary for my boyfriend.

 Usually I bake a cake, or cupcakes for these events, but this time I decided to bake heart shaped biscuits. I think they are cute enough for the occasion. :D

 He likes coffee, I like marzipan, and we both adore chocolate, so this recipe needed to happen. :) 

(I got roses from him, and also we decided to live together, so it was a big event. :) ) 

The biscuit got a lot of good complaints, so I can recommend this to You as well. :) 

Potato Pasta

Hello Dears! :) 

To continue the Hungarian main courses list on the new page here, I brought an easy dish with the use of the Hungarian paprika as well. 

This is one of the easiest  and the less expensive dish of all, so that's why it's one of the most popular. And we love it, it taste so good.

 (Only it's full of carbohydrate  so if You're on a diet, this one is not for You...)

Plum Pie

Hi there!:)

How is it going? Here it's extremely cold. I know talking about weather is dull, but right now I'm sitting in front of my desk in 2 sweaters, big socks and gloves! In September, inside the house... Crazy...

I have just rescued my cats from the heavy wind from outside. Sweet ones, they are sleeping near me right now. :) 

I baked this pie a week ago, when it was so shiny and warm that I could take this photo outside. 

 This was really tasty, my family ate the whole in 1 day. :D

 I made it with the plums from our tree, so it was extra home-made . :) I would recommend it to You as well, You should try it, with any fruits You like. :) 

Gulyás soup

Hello! I missed You so much. :) 

I was so busy these days, I couldn't reach my laptop to post the recipes... 

But it doesn't mean that I haven't done a thing. In the contrary! :D

I have at least 6 dishes to post to You. And Voilá! 

Here's my first main course post to this page, and to be loyal to our national tastes, I decided to start with the most famous soup of Hungary, the Gulyás. 

Yes, it's a spicy soup  with the Hungarian red paprika and it's not a stew. :) 

To reach the original taste we have to make it in a cauldron. We made this with a bunch of friends, it's so fun cooking together in the garden. :)

 The recipe is enough for  at least 12 people! :D 

light Swimming pool Cocktail

Hello Darlings! :)

Do You miss summer already? 

To bring it back, just a little bit more, I made You a summertime cocktail. :)

It's a lighter version of the Swimming pool cocktail, but as my friendship is not so alcoholic (thank's god :D ) we really liked this drink. A taste of pleasure! 

Cottage Cheese and Biscuit Balls

Hello! :) Do You like autumn?

The school has been started already. I remember I loved this time when I was in high school, that I could meet again with all my friends. :)

But for now, that I am working, it's not too different from summer, however, I do prefer this season. The nature is beautiful and we can dress up in great clothes, like I can wear my favourite leather jacket with my boots. :D 

And we can eat more sweets, haha. :D No more bikini style. So I brought You now some no-bake dessert. It's easy to make and great to taste! :)
