What can you do with leftover potatoes? All you can do is make classic potato dumplings. Today I would like to share with you a recipe for another way to make use of potatoes. These are potato crumpets with Parma ham. They are excellent as a dinner dish with salad. I think they would be fine with mushroom sauce. They are still tasty the next day with a bit of horseradish.

Sometimes you feel you would like to eat something plain, or maybe something which reminds you of your childhood home. Sometimes you have to prepare a meal because your children ask you what's for dinner, even though they have already eaten at kindergarten, and the only thing to be found in your fridge is an echo. Today's proposals are ideal for a situation like this.

What can you serve with a fish or meat dish? Buckwheat, rice, noodles, potatoes… None of these interest me. I was looking for inspiration when a tin of chickpeas caught my eye. I used to prepare a chickpea spread for bread. Necessity is the mother of invention and so I made a quick and tasty vegetable stew. I served it with fried fish and lettuce with vinaigrette.

There are two cooking shows which I like among the few on TV. I value cooking journeys by Robert Makłowicz for the exoticism and conversational style. I also like Karol Okrasa’s cooking show because he visits forsaken corners of Poland and rejuvenates traditional recipes.
Today I propose a dish which comes from one of Karol Okrasa’s Masurian programmes. This dish combines the traditional taste of fish with unusual condiments which apparently do not go well together: sour cabbage, sweet honey, chilli pepper and garlic. There are no peas but the net result is amazing and extremely delicious.
 

Some people love liver and others hate it. My family belongs to the former group, but I wouldn’t serve this dish during a family gathering.
I know that each housewife has her own recipe for liver. I have eaten fried liver and liver spiced with the herbs and onion. My favourite however is liver with onion and pieces of apple.
