This Christmas book has been on my mind for as long as I remember. This year I finally got to create it together with my baking friend, Janina from Baking for seven . It includes six festive recipes that we created together. All of them are tested in our kitchens and family approved. Wishing you…
Bulgarian mekici
One of my favorite childhood breakfast and quite possibly every other Bulgarian I know. You can mix the dough from the night before and keep it in the fridge overnight. The next morning let it out for at least an hour to temper and fry them. Recipe (makes about 10 mekici) 250g white flour 150…
Sourdough focaccia
Focaccia is one of my favorite breads. I have tried many recipes with commercial yeast but nothing can compare to the sourdough one. The flavors and textures are just too good to compromise. This focaccia can stay in the fridge for up to three days before baking, but I usually bake on day two. Recipe:…

How to swaddle a baby
Swaddling is probably the easiest thing to do but it can be so beneficial for mum and baby.

By gently tucking in baby’s…
My favorite baby products

It’s been an awful lot time since my last post here. In this duration I got pregnant with our second child and two months ago we welcomed our beautiful son Oliver. Loads of people are asking me whether is easier the second time around. And to be honest with you, the answer is- Yes it…
Creamy chicken with pickled onions and radishes
I have been making this recipe for years. It is super easy to make and put together in under 30 minutes. Using rotisserie chicken or even a leftover one will cut the cooking time. The pickled onions and radishes are my favourite way to give a kick to this creamy chicken, but also add a…
Teriyaki chicken
Good teriyaki is when you get that sticky, brown and sweet meat. Nice fluffy rice to serve and some steamed greens to balance the sweet and savory. I like to add my teriyaki sauce slowly in the cooking process, so I don`t get to burn it and have it bitter. It takes a bit longer,…
The big 30 and what to expect
I am 30! I actually had my birthday in July, so I am already over 30! I feel old! And yes, yes I know the age is just a number, but I don`t mean old as in mentally tired, but physically old! I went to two different doctors last week, for two different complains and…
