Summer cake – Nyári torta

My birthday present with the gift note “Happy cooking and happy blogging!” arrived on Friday afternoon.  I could not have been happier!  The newest Nigel Slater cookbook A Year of Good Eating: The Kitchen Diaries III, sent from Great Britain, ordered by my son.  Thank you, Dávid!

Wisteria – Lilaakác

The hanging clusters and the light sweet fragrance of wisteria amaze me during its flowering season.  We are lucky to have this woody climbing vine (Wisteria sinensis) over the arch of the entry to our courtyard.  Here are a few shots to give you a taste of its beauty.

Chocolate orange cream – Csokoládés narancskrém

When you quickly want to prepare a simple dessert which is delicious and not very sweet, this could be it.  The recipe is from Frame-by-Frame Quick & Easy, a visual step-by-step cookbook from the British series Love Food.  The orange could be replaced with any kind of citrus fruit.  In my opinion, the cream is best when served warm.
