RECIPES
Twisted Bacon Sticks
These sticks are very easy and quick to make, and I highly recommend them, especially since you can use ready-made puff pastry.
Donuts, Doughnuts, Pączki, Donaty, or Pączki with a Hole…
I decided to learn a bit more about the well-known donut and understand how it differs from the Polish pączek.
Chicken Fillets in Parma Ham on a Bed of Vegetables
Chicken breast fillets wrapped in Parma ham and braised on colorful vegetables. An easy dish that looks fancy and works for the Dukan diet.
Fish with Onions in Cream Sauce
Easy baked white fish topped with onions and a creamy paprika sauce. Just assemble, pop it in the oven, and wait. Perfect for a lazy day.
New Year's Faworki Roses
Faworki roses, just like faworki themselves, are a snack everyone probably knows. At my house we made them for almost every New Year's Eve at home.

Makówki, a Christmas Dessert Recipe
According to M. Kuroń, makówki are the last Christmas Eve dish, served as “dessert,” with counterparts like noodles with poppy seeds, łamańce or kutia.
Fish Soup Two Ways
This soup is perfect on a cold fall or winter day. It warms you up beautifully and lifts your mood.
Plum Brandy Truffles
Soft, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate truffles with brandy-soaked dried plums: another idea for a sweet homemade holiday gift.
Herring Under a Featherbed, Layered Herring Salad
This is one of my favorite herring salads. A perfect addition to the holiday menu, but great for any other herring occasion.
