Do you buy chocolate ornaments to decorate of cakes, cookies and deserts? I used to do so until it emerged that making them yourself is quite simple. Try it yourself.

The strawberry season has begun. It is time for dishes starring this beautiful and tasty fruit. Today I would like to share with you a recipe for a light strawberry cake on an unusual oaty-chocolate base.

Spring this year is cold and rainy, so let the food on the table be colorful and tasty. Maybe the season will be ashamed and mould itself to match our high spirits.

Every housewife has her old treasured recipes. Maybe mothers pass them on to their daughters, or maybe grandmothers reveal them to granddaughters. The recipe which my mother gave me as "kitchen heritage" is for a chocolate cake called "murzynek"

My mother used to make "checked apple pie". She cut the dough into strips and made a grid from this on the apples. I like a combination of apples and peaches, so I enrich traditional apple pie with this fruit.
