Today it has been raining since the morning. It is obvious that rain is necessary, but due to the outside aura, I am starting to feel that it is autumn. On such days you simply need to eat something good, sweet, warm and preferably with chocolate.

Here is my mood-lifting proposal: grilled bananas with caramelized sugar, ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate. It sounds great and very sweet, doesn't it?

Ingredients:

4 bananas

4 tablespoons of brown sugar

4 tablespoons of grated dark chocolate

4 vanilla ice-cream balls

whipped cream

mint leaves

I found the recipe for this soup in an old cookery book. It interested me because of the extremely short preparation time. Actually, it seems that preparing the ingredients takes more time than cooking. The soup is perfect on a difficult day when, regardless of your best intentions, you don't have enough time to cook.

Ingredients:

120g of courgettes

100g of carrots

50g of parsley roots

½ onion

1 clove of garlic

100g of butter

1 vegetable stock cube

500 ml of water

200ml of milk

salt and pepper

2 tablespoons of minced dill

In my grandma's house supper was a must. If dinner was especially hearty or was served too late, when asked whether she wanted supper my grandmother replied, "Yes, but letką" (it means "light" supper, not too much and not too heavy). It is one of the warm "pictures" I have to remember my grandma.

Today's recipe is for letką supper – layered salad with tomatoes. It is worth making this in the summer when tomatoes smell like tomatoes and have a beautiful ripe colour.

Ingredients:

2 tomatoes

1 egg

handful of minced chives

a couple of leaves of rocket

Holidays have one basic property: they show how much time modern school takes up. when I think about all the learning, projects and presentations my daughter has to do and which absorb my private time as well, my freshly dyed hair bristles. Half of the holiday has gone and I haven't relaxed yet. I relish my free afternoons and enjoy dinners at my leisure.

Today's proposal is for a simple but delicious salad with green beans and smoked salmon. If you don't like the robust taste of garlic, you can omit it or add less.

Ingredients:

250g of green beans

100g of smoked salmon

I am not especially fond of mushrooms. Usually I cook traditional Christmas Eve mushroom soup. Sometimes I use champignons but some people think that they aren't real mushrooms. I make an exception for oyster mushrooms and chanterelles. Chanterelles tempt me with their colour and forest smell.

Today I would like to share with you my recipe for chanterelle cream soup.

Ingredients:

250g of chanterelles

1 carrot

1 parsley root

3 potatoes

1 piece of leek

1/4 celery

1 onion

100g of butter

1 stock cube
