Roasted peaches

Rocket and roasted peaches salad is good for summer evening's dinner.

Omnivore

I have two favourites from the opposite ends of the world at the moment.

The first:

I am somewhat an omnivore when it comes to arts.

Not so Medieval beans

Boiling beans, fresh ones in this instant, with some garlic does add a good twist to an old staple.

And mango for a desert is always a winner.

A real Oldtimer

I got the recipe for this dish from a book about Medieval eating in Tallinn.
It may look rather ordinary but tastes truly good, Medieval or not. 
It is flat beans boiled with bay leaves and garlic and then mashed with some olive oil, lemon nice and parsley.

Mango, mango, mango

Local mangoes are ready!

And these roses were just irresistible!!!

Childhood favourite

This baked slice does not look amazing but it does taste so!
We call it "karask".
It is simply a barley flower and buttermilk dough baked in quiet oven and of course everyone does it a little bit differently but I can proudly say that mine is just as good as my grannie's!

Flowers again

I have always loved flowers. They do make our life better.

Chill(i) time

Hot food for hot weather. 
My garden is giving me one chilli after another, so tonight I made a chickpea, paprika and chilli dish.

Melon balm

A bowl of melon with some lemon balm is rather sufficient for a hot summer day's lunch.

I got some really lovely melons straight from a farmer today, too.

Hungry!

I was very, very hungry by the time I got home tonight. So - pasta and beans it was! 
Of course I added a lot of garlic and some parmesan.
I do LOVE garlic!

Dvorak

I heard this when driving home and almost veered of the road - it's beauty always fills me with yearning for the Old World.

Not to mention that Prague is one of my all time favourites and not only because it's fabulous food and bakeries.
