Happy New Year!!!
We love New Year celebration. We eat a lot, we drink champagne at midnight with a glass in one hand and a banknote in another - if you want to have money in a new year you have to do that ( it works, trust me 😂). And after that comes Napoleon cake - an elegant conclusion of the New Year feast, the grand finale of the night.

Lately, I fell in love with cake decor made of caramel. You can make a decor in any imaginable shape and it is hard to predict the end result which makes the process very exciting. Every piece is unique

Merry Christmas! Lebkuchen are traditional German

Merry Christmas!
Lebkuchen are traditional German Christmas cookies . They are made with spices, nuts and dry fruit.
I wanted to make cutout cookies and for that I made a hard version of lebkuchen dough which I kept in the fridge for more than a week to get more flavour

I made a decision - Christmas is coming early.
The season of pretty lights and decorations, cookies and hot chocolate has arrived.
The first cookie of the season - spicy pumpkin with maple syrup.

Chocolate pistachio mousse cake
I made pistachio paste some time ago for another dessert and had quite a bit of it sitting in my fridge. I didn’t want it to get spoiled and decided to make a cake. No regrets - perfect dessert for Saturday dinner

New day, new ideas.
Puffs. This time I made them with savoury filling. You can make them with smoked salmon, crab or lobster meat (crab sticks will work too 😉). Purée fish with cream cheese in food processor, fold the mixture into whipped cream, add some seasoning and herbs and voila! Smooth and delicious filling is ready

Tears on my plate. Maybe I have to be strong, ma

Tears on my plate.
Maybe I have to be strong,
maybe I have to be cheerful,
maybe I have to be encouraging.
Well, today I am not.
I know we all have problems
and it doesn’t make me feel better.
I know we all are overwhelmed
And I am no different.
The heaviness in my chest doesn’t let me breath.
But I want it to go away.
Maybe I’m scared,
maybe I’m worrying too much
But no one could see.
And I was trying to be strong and cheerful
But I was lying.
And today I found myself sitting at the table and not knowing what to do and where to go.
And I felt numb
And I don’t know any other way -
I will squeeze my feelings
into a small drops and let them fall
On my plate.
And you may say - this is so dark.
And I agree
But I’m searching for the Light, how can I find it?
You tell me
.
.
Even in this dark time don’t stop - keep searching for the Light

Morning coffee.
I bought this translucent china cup in a thrift store. I was stunned by it’s simple and fragile beauty. According to the stamp on the bottom of the cup it was made in “Occupied Japan”. I didn’t know that goods produced during military occupation of Japan (1945-1952) were marked this way. I grew up in Ukraine and WWII history we knew was focused on Europe. My knowledge of events happened during that time on another part of the globe is quite limited. I started searching and reading to learn more about that part of the history I wasn’t aware of. Who knew that the purchase of the cup would trigger something like this. I’m glad though that it happened.

Napoleon is no doubt one of my favourite cakes. It’s light and delicious. It takes quite some time to make it. Rolling all these thin layers (this one has twenty!) is a nightmare. I wish I could invent something to make this process more enjoyable.
But the result worth it. Twenty flaky layers soaked in caramel-Baylis cream are sooo good! 🤤
