Sometimes we just view the world through a window. November in our garden. Néha a világot csak ablakon keresztül látjuk. November a kertünkben.

My yarn basket – A kötőkosaram
Knitting has been one of my favorite hobbies for a long time. I started with easy projects – like scarves – and moved on to knit hats, pullovers, sweaters, vests, a skirt, mittens, a doll, even a blanket. There was a time in my life when I knitted with great intensity, then other interests took over, and knitting got abandoned a little bit.
Quick kohlrabi and apple slaw – Gyors almás karalábésaláta
Kohlrabi is one of my favorite vegetables. Paired with apples, a quick slaw – full of vitamins – can be created from it. It’s refreshing and crunchy, simple and very delicious on its own, or as a side dish.

Little chocolate turnovers – Kis csokis párnák

Still life – Csendélet
Pistachio cake with cocoa – Pisztáciás kakaótorta
What do you do if you suddenly crave something sweet? Try to find something sweet in your pantry? Run to a store to buy something? Start baking? Maybe cookies or even a cake? Yes, a cake! The type that doesn’t require any filling. Then you can justify your baking as preparing snacks or the next day’s breakfast. Yes, seriously. We don’t even need a special occasion to bake a cake. If the ingredients are available, we are ready to start.
