Cod Gravlax Style
Do you remember that few months ago, I did write a post about Gravlax [Part I - Part II - Part III], it’s a cured salmon, it’s really tasty. I tried to make it with a different fish at work last week. I have cod on the menu actually. So I tried with it. With [...]
Some Dips for Tortillas Chips
Remember that post I wrote few months ago? It’s about dips you can use during your barbecue or whatsoever occasion you have. Here are two more of them. I made them for Burritos, but actually, they are also good for anything else. We used the Salsa Picante for Grilled Sausages the day after. The Guacamole [...]
Quick Chickpeas Salad & Other Stuff
It’s been a long time I didn’t write any food related post, isn’t it? Busy at work, summer is the busiest period of the year as you may imagine. So I don’t really have the time to make anything really special at home. It should change in September, I promise… I already have some ideas. [...]
Cold Cucumber Soup
It’s not summer time yet, but we can say that here, in Poland, we are having a very nice weather. Like 20°C, big bright sun, not a single cloud around, no rain for a while. Great for our mental health, but not that nice for photography, the light is really too harsh, beside sunset time [...]
Dip, Dip, Dip, Hourra
We never buy ready-to-use sauces/dips/relishes with my wife, beside mustard of course. You wouldn’t even find mayonnaise. I never liked industrial mayonnaise, I always make it myself. Ketchup is banned from our fridge as well. So when we have a party, we make our own dips. It’s easy, it’s better and people love them. We [...]

Gravlax Part I
Today, I decided to make some Gravlax. It’s something I used to do for years in Nick’s restaurant, in Killorglin (Ireland). I really love it. And obviously I wasn’t the only one… My mighty cat was looking at it with great envy. Gravlax was a way to keep salmon for future use. Like smoked, dry [...]
Marinated Red Bell Pepper
In the coming weeks I will write about some recipes using “Pimientos del Piquillo” or Piquillos as ingredients. Piquillos are a type of small red bell peppers from Spain.
What to Do with Quinoa?
Over 10 years ago, few people in France knew Quinoa. Times has changed, the bio wave came by and now it’s, I think, popular, and available everywhere. Unfortunately in Poland it’s not very well known. It can be found in specialized places but it’s quite expensive.
