Today, I have a recipe for herring rolls for you. These rolls are a perfect cold snack that can be served at all kinds of parties. This snack is not very sophisticated, and I must say that these herring rolls are a simple snack. To prepare herring rolls, you need good quality herring, preferably matias,…
Both my family and I love herring. We serve it at almost most family gathering. My favourite is herring in cream and in Kashubian style. Kashubian style herring, i.e. herring fillets in tomato sauce with prunes, onions and spices, I buy ready-made in a store or prepare it at home from scratch. I serve this…
Sugar foam known commonly as marshmallow, is nothing but a sweet foam made from water, glucose syrup and gelatine. Marshmallow has its roots, of course, in the United States. In Poland, sugar marshmallows have been adopted not so long ago. I remember my aunt ages ago sending me colourful marshmallows from the States. As a…

I have baked both coconut and cocoa cake before, however I have never baked them together as one. I found this recipe for a cocoa and coconut cake in my mom’s recipe book. The recipe itself seemed interesting if a bit simple. I thought that I would diversify my cake a bit by adding some…
This recipe is for a chocolate cake with Greek yoghurt cream and strawberries. It is probably the last cake with fresh strawberries that I make this season as their price is quite high at the moment. Anyway, as I have checked recently, most of the fruits are much more expensive now than last year. I…

Any dessert which includes coffee is a winner for me. The most popular coffee dessert must be of course the Italian tiramisu. I make this dessert usually at home, I buy it less often. It is very easy to prepare it, which is maybe the reason for not buying it and instead making it. However,…
