Little chocolate turnovers – Kis csokis párnák
I still use store bought puff pastry – and not homemade – when the recipe calls for it. It’s very convenient and time saving. This is a big enough reason for me not to embark on making it from scratch – not yet.

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!

In one of our raised beds the arugula looked really wonderful the other day, ready to be used. I harvested it all – some for a tasty salad, some for some sandwiches.
Lavender walnut scones – Levendulás diós édes pogácsa
On some of the islands of Puget Sound around Seattle, WA, there are many lavender farms and annual lavender festivals – a favorite destination for many in the summer. It was already a few years ago during one of these festivals where I tasted my first lavender scone and bought my first little bag of dried culinary lavender.
