RECIPE: ITALIAN GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE TART ´LA CAPRESE´
"La Caprese di Zia Rita" is the original name of this recipe by Gino D'Acampo which inspired me. My version of this delicious dessert contains mascarpone cream with almond liquor Disaronno which accompanies this cake very well . It is one of the easiest and the most chocolaty dessert I have ever made! This tart is also gluten free and contains low amount of sugar. Let's get onto it!
RECIPE: Ricotta and potatoes filled pirohy (ravioli)
This dish is so traditional and yet very international - across Europe. Home-made slovak "pirohy" might be compared to typical italian "ravioli" (or stuffed savoury pie) and the sauerkraut, complementing this dish in my recipe, is very typical, rustic part of the cuisine in Hungary, Czech Republic, Austria and Poland too.
Not difficult to prepare, very fulfilling and nutritious meal, is also known for its cheap ingredients. Flour, potatoes, egg, onions and butter. Simple and good!Let's get onto it!
RECIPE: LOW CARB COCONUT RAFFAELO BALLS

Today's late breakfast at home is rather special for me. Traditional scottish porridge is easy to prepare and reminds me of my childhood where my granny used to make it quite often 'cause its inexpensiveness.

Spaghetti alla bolognese aka this dish doesn't even exist
This dish is notouriously known to everyone, or at least everyone who loves food. Honestly, I don’t know a single person who never ate a plate of Tagliatelle, Gnocchettini or Fetuccine with Ragu alla Bolognese before. Or "Spaghetti Bolognese" which you actually won't find in Italy in any (non-touristy) restaurant! Let's get down to cooking!
