2009 REVIEW

This was an amazing year (again, yeah). A year full of strange and beautiful little things that has happened. I love looking at my photos while listening to the music! I guess I am a pretty lucky lady!

January.... Working on my first official wedding cake! The couple is happy and their newborn babygirl is perfectly fine. It was white chocolate cake decorated with pink petals.

February....

Wonderful London's vacation. I get hungry looking on the muffins' photos. Food was found even in the British Museum together with the ancient tombs. So many things you realise while travelling. Sprouts festival. Bloody red Pavlova.



March....

Cooking festival is running. There are many photos of different dishes from March. That was the time of challenging new muffin recipes, tasting Austrian bread and Swiss chocolate brought home by my husband. Culinary warming up.


April....

My first hot cross buns baked in Poland. Ultimate! Experiments with sourdough and chocolate. Easter bakes. Easter fair in the Krakow main square. Pascha, beetroot soup, rhubarb tart.



May....


Wine, aubergines, knots, dandelions in the kitchen, strawberries. Fresh produce and celebrating. That was impressing, but there were so many things to come!


June....

Strawberry-chocolate muffins, yeah yeah. Light breads. Pasta with sorrel - never again and don't do this at home. Even don't check if I am right. Jelly party. Bread festival in Krakow.



July....


Checking out fresh fish. Apricots. Till this summer I didn't understand why the Brits are so crazy about this fruit. Now I am one of them. My husband's obsession with strawberry Swiss roll. Watch these wonderful photos: fruits grown in Poland, photos with no photoshop.


August....


Aboundance of fruits. Blueberry brioches of grandma. Pikeperch. Krakow Taste Festival. Here I also realise that a one kilo package of the white miso paste from Gosia is going to pass its expire date shortly. I formulated the first right of the cooking friends: If you want make your friend adventurous in the kitchen, present him or her an exotic ingredient in large quantity. Cucumber miso soup - miso nr 1.


September....

Picking up plums and making jam. Mushroom time. Seabass revealed. Dorade. Green vegetables miso soup (2). Carrot miso soup (3). Graden bearing fruits. Plus peppers. Muf muf muffin!



October...
.

From cucumbers in butter - challenging the book of Julie Powell. Than fighting with the cheesecake. After all, I compare it to driving, it's the matter of loosing the fear. Also first signs of this year's autumn. Cheese miso soup (4). Coconut walnut cake. Another coconut cake. Our second wedding anniversary and a nice Chinese dinner. Seaweed salad. Seaweed miso soup (5). Sweet potato baked.



November....

Miso soup (6) ... Spicy pumpkin tart. Coconut and muffins. Pineapple tea. Vitamin banana tartalettes (?). Culinary fair in Krakow... Polish wine tasting!!!



December....

Cooking for the guests of the international scientific conference Aid for Tuvalu. Huge public response. Recognition of the honorary consul of Tuvalu in London. Only empty dishes left. Fish&coconut soup, banana drops, mango and chicken meatballs, coconut jelly, jackfruit chips, banana&sweet potato salad, coconut chocolate muffins, fresh manogoes, coconut flesh, papaya, kiwano, longans, star fruit, palm heart,s tapioca pudding, fruit poke and tropical juices. All this in Poland, at the opposite side of the globe. Topped with sweet style herrings. Thanks guys! That was a pleasure to cook and write for you!
