PLANT BASED FOOD AND STORIES
Don’t you just love nectarines? I do. I literally can’t stop eating them. I like them firm and not ripe at all. You know, when you take a bite and it kind of cracks. That’s my kind of nectarine. That’s my kind of any fruit, I guess. I eat fruit when it’s just about to […]
I’ve heard about Soparnik many times but didn’t make it till few months ago. And I can only blame myself for that, because it was eaten by the speed of the space rocket. But first things first. Soparnik is traditional Dalmatian dish, hundreds of years old. Or even older? The most famous and praised is […]
It was a quiet day. As quiet as cabbage can be. And fennel too. I wasn’t always on familiar terms with fennel, must admit. My Grandma didn’t have it in her garden and when it was brought my attention to it some decade ago, I turned away my nose in a frown. Don’t you like […]
Not a thought of an ice cream goes by that I don’t remember a famous scene from Jim Jarmusch’s Down by Law movie and even more famous scene where Roberto Benigni recites his English lessons. “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!” Oh, I love this movie.

I was affraid of cantaloupes as a child. Not because someone hit me in the head with it but in the nose. Not in the way you might think, but the scent would hit me hard everytime my Grandma cracked this yellow baseball open. So I ran. And my Grandma really loved cantaloupes and I […]
Oh, baking. Do you love baking? The scent of freshly baked bread coming softly and filling every corner of your home? I do. And if you are anything like me, then you’re gonna love this garlic bread. If you love bread, you’re gonna love it. We sometimes avoid garlic for obvious reason: you cannot just […]
You’ve all heard about lemon – ginger combo that “miraculously” makes you lose weight, right? Well, I don’t know about that. I mean, I drank so much lemons and gingers that I should have been a top model by now and yet… akhem… I’m not. And that’s the least of my worries. I just make […]
Well now. I don’t like when food is wasted. Especially when I’m in control. How ever the table setting may be pretty and platters and bowls filled with delicious food, if I see or feel that that’s too much for the people in the room, I feel bad. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not counting […]
