The Start

I am pretty sure I have made a blog exactly one year ago. But never started it. Until now.

It is a fresh start.

So... I am going to post my recipes, recipes I find extremely lovely, recipes I see some potentials in them but need some alterations and my stories behind every piece of recipe. Because one recipe is not only about directions how to make food. One recipe can bring joy, lots of fun, misery, sometimes even tears but most of all, it brings love. The love for food, the love for creating something new and different and the love that the people give us in order to show their gratitude. Because frankly, it is among the best things when we see the appreciation and the shine in their eyes when they dig in and taste the first bites...and then comes the familiar mmmmmmms... =)

Although for me not only the taste is important. Wherever I can use healthier ingredients, I do. Even if I'm making heavenly good brownies, like I did today. Not that it is less fattening..but it is certainly healthier when I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose. Or...I use 60-70% chocolate instead of milk chocolate. It will make it more intense and rich-flavoured. Everyone who has had some of it...well they just say it is the road to heaven =)

I will share the recipe =) bad thing I didn't take any pictures of it and there is not much left anymore...

Today I also made croque monsieur. It is basically a grilled cheese sandwich but not so usual. I saw this one in the movie It's complicated with Meryl Streep. Well, hers in the movie was waaay tastier looking than mine, but its was my very first try and my family liked it, all the same. I am going to play with the original recipe until I get what I love and then I will post it on here, too!

For now, I think I finish this entry...

Homemade Nutella

I was an exchange student (ah how many times I've said this sentence...) 5 years ago in the US. I'm not gonna talk about how it was (AMAZING) but then and there I gained sisters! Now I have one living in the States and one living in Germany. And next week we are gonna be reunited! I can't wait, I am so excited! So this week I am going to Germany and was thinking what I should bring. Because basically Germany has everything that Hungary has, if not more. So what to give what to give? I was thinking really hard when a completely random thing came to my mind. I should make some nutella. She loves nutella. Frankly, who doesn't, right? I love it, too although it's been years since I ate any. I can't really explain why because I always think that if I eat just one spoon, I will gain a 100 pounds immediately. But with this thought, I shouldn't be eating any brownies, cookies...etc.  BUT today I tried my homemade Nutella. OH MY GOD. I wouldn't have though

Hungarian Kakaós Csiga (Chocolate Rolls)

Frankly, I missed baking so much! Even though I needed one baking-free month to lose all the weight I gained due to the excessive baking mania I got over this summer I just cannot stop it! So I decided that I don't have to give up this love of mine but I do have to figure out something that will not leave me end up gaining weight again. What to do, what to do...Bake only in the weekends! And probably I should get a grip and not stuff my face until I can't move...Which didn't really happen today. I ate like 6 of these lovely chocolate rolls...I guess, no dinner for Csilla tonight :P These rolls are from a traditional Hungarian pastry recipe. I called my Grandma to ask for the recipe and as it always happens with Grandma recipes she did not know the measurements...I don't know if it's only with my grandmas but they always work with their eyes so they usually have no idea how much grams I need from this or that... So I turned to an ancient Hungarian cookbook and that
