Truffles

Truffles

My dear readers, today I present to you a recipe from my childhood. When I was a kid, my mother made these delicious truffles on special occasions (e.g. birthdays, Christmas). I could not get enough of them. We were not allowed to eat too many because they contain alcohol soaked sour cherries. I remember that I always ate these cherries...because they tasted so good. This year I went home and brought with me this recipe...and of course the cherries (they are used to make homemade cherry liqueur). I made than the truffles and today I share the recipe with you.

... and there are recipes that do not wait for years to be published. This is the case of today’s recipe. I prepared this French toast last weekend, wrote the blog post on Sunday and today the recipe is already online. Yes, sometimes it goes very quickly.

My dears. Today I share with you a recipe which I cooked the first time 3 years ago. I wanted to post the recipe then, but the photos were so bad that I did not want to publish them. The 2nd time I've cooked this dish, I forgot to take pictures...yes...that can happen...if you are very hungry :). Now I prepared the dish again and the photos are not bad either. So today I present to you the eggplant-mozzarella tower.

Apple strudel

I promised you that I will share with you some typical Austrian dishes. Today I share with you the recipe for a very famous Austrian dessert: the one and only apple strudel. I have often eaten this dessert, but I never baked it. Until now. Well, I have to admit I simplified my job a little, because I haven't made the dough. There is far too much work, and I am not even sure I can really make this dough. It often happens that I prepare dough and I cannot use it. So I bought strudel dough. It’s allowed :)

I have thought very long about whether I should show you this dish or not. And this for 2 reasons: first, I am not happy with the quality of the photos. I cooked this dish last year and the photos were taken at that time. At that time I was not somehow satisfied with them, now I am not. And the second reason, which is actually more important: this dish is certainly not for everyone, as the main ingredient is lamb offal. So why did I decide to share the recipe? It is pretty simple: this is a recipe that is served at the Romanian Easter. And believe it or not, the dish tastes really good.

Transylvanian lamb soup

As you know, I'm originally from Romania. And because I like the Romanian cuisine, I want to share it also with you. For this reason I will share with you from time to time Romanian dishes. Today I will show you a typical Transylvanian lamb soup, which we always eat for Easter. And since the Orthodox Easter is celebrated this year a week later than the Catholic one, the timing is perfect.

Eggnog cream

Good morning! In the last article I told you why I was not able to post more Easter recipes this year. And this even though I've prepared the recipes in time. I'm curious if I will post more next year or if something intervenes again. I have another Easter recipe for you guys and this is eggnog cream served in eggshells. This is a really simple recipe but I am sure that your guests will be very enthusiastic when you will serve to them this dessert.
