I love that moment when I don't know what to buy at the fruit and veg market and I don't know what to use first when preparing dishes. Everything is fresh, juicy, fragrant and fantastically colourful. Of course, first I choose the things I like the most: strawberries, raspberries and peaches.

Today, I used the best part of my raspberry shopping for my summer second breakfast. I recommend it for those who only drink coffee in the morning. The rolled oats and chia seeds ensure that it satisfies our hunger very well, and the empty bowl means that you are sorry the dish was so small.

The inspiration for this dish comes from "Smaki życia" ("Flavour of Life") by Agnieszka Maciąg.

Ingredients:
100g of raspberries
3 teaspoons of honey
3 tablespoons of rolled oats
2 teaspoons of chia seeds
decoration
3 teaspoons of natural yoghurt
raspberries, blueberries, banana slices, cashews, sesame seeds

All year long I wait impatiently for two summer treasures. The first are strawberries and the second are broad beans. I know that I can buy both of them frozen, but the flavour of fresh products is incomparable.

We like cooked broad beans. Regardless of how many we cook, we are able to eat them all. My daughter also loves broad beans, but she used to eat a good deal more. Many times I have used broad beans in salads. Today I would like to share with you a recipe for shortbread mini tarts with broad beans and slices of sausages. The dish smells of rosemary and thyme and it is excellent as a not so substantial dinner or a slightly richer supper.

Ingredients (for 3 people)
dough
150g of flour
1 egg
75g of butter
1 tablespoon of minced rosemary
1 tablespoon of minced thyme
a pinch of salt
stuffing
100g of sausage
3 fistfuls of broad beans
10cm piece of leek
1 tablespoon of minced rosemary

When we want to eat something simple, we often make a sandwich. When we prepare a fast supper, we often choose a sandwich. For breakfast when we have overslept? – a sandwich. As a result, thinking about sandwiches kills our appetite. This might not always be so bad, but sometimes we really need to eat. Today I would like to share with you a recipe for a slightly different sandwich. Instead of traditional vegetables, I recommend strawberry salsa, and rather than a slice of ham – a golden grilled slice of Halloumi cheese. Only one thing is missing – a fresh and fragrant bread roll.

Halloumi is a Cypriot cheese made with sheep's milk or a mixture of sheep's, goat's and cow's milk. It is semihard and so flexible that it is excellent for frying and barbecuing, and it is great fresh too.

Ingredients (for two people)
2 fresh rolls of your choice
2 big lettuce leaves
4 slices of Halloumi cheese
2 teaspoons of butter

Since the beginning of March I have been impatiently waiting for Spring. This year it kept us waiting a very long time. During the long May weekend we still had to bundle up. But finally it has come and for a few days we have been spoilt by sunny weather.

The spring is not only about changing our clothes. Many of us feel the coming warm days also changes our daily diet. We willingly reach for vegetables, fruit, cleansing cocktails and refreshing salads.

Today I would like to share with you a recipe for a weekend breakfast, with yummy green asparagus spears, which is both energizing and light. Serve it with slices of granary toast or without, and eat it slowly and lazily in nice company. I think that in spring the nicest thing is to enjoy the small pleasures.

The inspiration for this dish comes from "Smaki życia" ("Flavour of Life") by Agnieszka Maciąg.

Ingredients (for 2 people)
4 eggs
10 green asparagus spears
1 teaspoon of fresh minced rosemary
2 tablespoons of minced chives
4 tablespoons of grated mozzarella cheese
10 cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons of butter
salt and pepper

Looking for ideas for dinner and packed lunches, I found a few recipes involving muffins: with ham, dried tomatoes, vegetables and herbs. I decided to prepare my own version with our favourite ingredients. I added ham, cheese and courgette. They were excellent both hot and cold the next day.

My daughter, who likes trying my culinary experiments, ate the muffins at once and another two for packed lunch. The next time I will prepare many more.

Ingredients (8 muffins):
200g of flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
125ml of milk
50ml of oil
1 egg
200g of courgettes
75g of ham
100g of cheese
2 teaspoon of mixed herbs
salt and pepper
