I have always associated lavender with the Provence region in France.

Wine Cookies

Did you forget to finish your glass of wine yesterday and it has lost its sparkle overnight? Before washing it down the sink, consider using it in cooking, or even baking. You'll be surprised how much goodness it can still create. I remembered this old recipe a couple of days ago when I found an … Continue reading Wine Cookies

Cookbooks

A Taste of Slovakia series is much more than a collection of traditional Slovak recipes. It's a colourful journey into this small country's culture, the customs that revolve around cooking and eating, as well as history of some typical ingredients.
