Sunday Plum Sponge Delight

September 25, 2016April 2, 2020 ~ jarmilascooking ~ 3 Comments

Summer is undeniably over and so is the plum season. We still get quite a lot of sunshine here in Slovakia, but the temperatures have dropped and there's this autumnal nip in the air that makes my gait brisker and my mind more agile. I've already bottled some of this year's crop of plums that … Continue reading Sunday Plum Sponge Delight

Dobosh cookies

April 11, 2016March 25, 2020 ~ jarmilascooking ~ 1 Comment

My daughter and I have tried another old recipe from my hand-written cookbook recently - it's one of those I got from my mum years ago. I remember I quite liked 'Dobošové kolieska' (Dobosh cookies) as a child. They not only tasted good, but also looked like a work of art, as everything mum laid … Continue reading Dobosh cookies

Low-Sugar Non-Dairy Plum Pie

February 6, 2016February 23, 2020 ~ jarmilascooking ~ 2 Comments

This recipe could also be subtitled 'when the winter asks you what you were doing in the summer'.

Quick-and-easy Plum Pie

October 15, 2015January 5, 2020 ~ jarmilascooking ~ 3 Comments

This year has been a very good one for plums and my friend, whose parents have a huge orchard in a remote village up in the mountains, kept sending me their home grown produce for over a month. I was busy bottling, drying and cooking this versatile fruit, which came in various shapes, sizes and … Continue reading Quick-and-easy Plum Pie

Quick-and-easy Chocolate Cake

September 14, 2015October 27, 2019 ~ jarmilascooking ~ Leave a comment

This quick-and-easy recipe has been in my personal hand-written cookbook for ages. I don't remember who I got it from and when. I know, however, that it has never failed to satisfy my family's cravings for 'something nice and sweet'. The good thing about the recipe is that it uses simple ingredients that are easy … Continue reading Quick-and-easy Chocolate Cake

Cookbooks

A Taste of Slovakia series is much more than a collection of traditional Slovak recipes.
