One thing I would love the most on work days would be: getting home with dinner already waiting for me on the table, without m having to think of what I should make, then shop for it, then making it for hours. Unfortunately I do not have a personal chef yet, this is why I…
Author: Kristina
Hi Everyone, I am Kristina and I am 29 years old. Ever since I was a little girl, I loved everything creative.
I would play the piano, draw, paint, cook various dishes and adore DIYs. This is where I want to share all this with you.
For me creativity isn't simply a project, it is a way of life, it's a vent that helps me whenever I am stressed, sad or worried, and makes me even happier when I feel everything is OK.
I feel like, when we enter adulthood we lose something really important - the ability to be carefree, to be happy about the small things. Creating art in all shapes and forms helps me preserve my carefree spirit and enjoy my life, with all its pros and cons.
I am happy to share what I do with you, and I hope you will stay for a cup of coffee. ;)
Chocolate cake with Swiss bitter cream
I have to warn you at the very beginning that if you are someone who only tolerates chocolate and sugar, this cake is not for you! 🙂 This cake is the absolute chocolate bomb and as such it is only recommended for people who are in love with chocolate. I do have to note that…
Lime cheesecake
The best cheesecake I have ever had was in my favourite bakery Villa Rosiche. Normally I am not this excited when it comes to things tasting like lemon or lime, they shut me up with the amazing taste and texture of this heavenly cake! This is why i decided to try and recreate it as…
My version of chicken pot pie
This is my own invention I must say and the only reason I am calling it a pot pie is because it is in a pot and it has a crust 😀 It is also one of my most delicious inventions. The good thing is that you can make it in any quantity you like…
French omelette and the best toast
French cooking and recipes have generated some of the most exquisite tasting dishes in the world. While the Italians cook for pleasure and don’t put too much worry in it, sometimes I feel that with french recipes you are constantly expected to deliver exact quantities to the gram, an exact amount of stirs or temperature…
Egg salad sandwich
One of the things that can make the work day more pleasant is lunch. Not only because it goes hand in hand with a break, but because of the oportunity of bringing something delicious and home made into the office, which will definitely bring your energy and positive outlook back. Here is an office lunch…
Cream cheese frosted cupcakes
Cupcakes are something we all love. I do not believe that I will ever meet a person who will tell me “I don’t like cupcakes”, it is like saying “Puppies aren’t adorable”! So once last month, when I was just recovering from some bad cold that put me in bed for couple of days I…
Homemade sushi
The sushi is one of those things that look really hard to make, but when you start doing it it turns out it is a real pleasure! The traditional Japanese sushi consists of rice (or shari) with vinegar, sugar and salt and raw fish. In time, however, it evolves and becomes incredibly diverse meal everywhere…
Caramel-walnut pie
Caramel is my enemy. I don’t know if it is because it scares me or because I don’t understand it. I think it is the latter. If I see a recipe that includes caramel, i know there will an extremely stressful moment in the cooking process, during which I will ask myself: Why am I…
Classic Bruschetta
I have been to Italy once, and that was enough to fall in love with the place, the people, and most importantly – the food. It is really hard not to love Italian food. It is simple, it is amazingly delicious and contains enormous amounts of heart and soul. I have always thought that bruschetta…
Berlin
An eventful place Berlin is. You can feel many different things when walking the streets of the German capital. The things I felt the most were hospitality and the spirit of tradition and togetherness. Berlin was not in my bucket list if I have to be completely honest, but this is one of these cases…
Villa Rosiche – the place to fall in love
If you asked me 5 years ago, I would tell you, the place to fall in love is positively and only New York. However… If someone asked me “What is better than New York?” my answer would be – a bakery where you can get lost in a bite of cake or dessert, where everything…
Rome
Me and my cousin have a tradition. Once or twice a year we arrange a trip to somewhere neither of us has been before and we spend 4-5 days walking around, sight seeing and being exhausted walking 25-30 kilometers a day (because we have an unspoken rule not to use any sort of transport during…
My first trip to London
Back in April this year, me and my significant other arranged a four day trip to the UK. This being both of our first time in London, it is safe to say we had a list of (more than) 50 places we wanted to visit, it is also safe to say we barely managed to…
My Day-off extravaganza tomato sauce spaghetti
Once upon a time, when I would go to school and that was were my responsibilities ended, I would have half a day to my own easily. During that time, because of my love for pasta (of any sort), I learnt how to make the best tomato sauce to go with spaghetti and I would…
