Hello.

You could say that food is a very central part of my life. As the son of a housewife, a significant part of my childhood memories are related to food. A small child would come home from school and already in the stairwell he would smell the smell of lunch dishes. There were no microwaves and no large freezers in those days. There was no such thing as reheating food from yesterday or defrosting leftovers from a processed schnitzel for lunch.

For as long as I can remember, I spent time with my mother in the kitchen helping her bake cakes. I made my first apple cake, the recipe for which I haven’t posted on the blog yet, in first grade when I had to make a cake for Friday. I was sick, but in order not to disappoint my classmates, my mother took the cake to school and no one believed me that I baked the cake. When I got a little older, my mother forbade me from cooking in the kitchen “because it’s messy.” I could only cook in the warehouse’s fryer kitchen, and only on Saturdays, when I was a teenager, would I play in the kitchen while my parents went for a walk and I was left alone at home.

When I moved into my own house with my girlfriend (who now happens to be my wife and the mother of my three children), the leap forward came.

I never learned to cook professionally, and cooking is not my profession. Somewhere along the way between your computer, phone, or tablet, and the server on which the blog is stored, you pass through equipment that my company manufactures. The blog is my psychologist and cooking is my therapy.

When I started the blog somewhere in 2008, I thought about a place where I would leave something behind and where the children would have all my recipes. Since then, many packages of butter and many kilograms of flour have passed through my kitchen. My dream is that one day, when my children are parents and they prepare food for their children, they will say, “Grandpa used to make this for us after school” or “I made this for the first time with Grandpa.”

Another thing I want to show you, my readers, is that you can make restaurant food at home quite easily. True, there are dishes that are very difficult to recreate and prepare at home, but the vast majority of restaurant recipes can definitely be made at home and you will also find a variety of tips and advice here on how to plan large-group meals without dying before the meal.

So you are looking for great recipes that are easy to prepare (even if the result looks like a million dollars) Come learn how to cook like in restaurants, in your own kitchen.
