I am back at the computer and in my own kitchen after a wonderful week city-hopping in Europe.
Sorry for the delay in posting. Last week was not nearly as leisurely as my time in Ireland which translated to little time at the computer and limited web access.
One thing the week did not lack was interesting food. I am going to be honest and admit that there was a lot of splurging last week. But what better place to do it than in Europe where some of the best foods in the world originated.
I’ve returned with a renewed inspiration for cooking, along with a desire to return to some healthier foods. There is that feeling of the need to detox a bit after so many sausages and beer.
As I do that I am planning to research some of the best things I had while traveling and try my chances at recreating them at home.
I love this season in the US – fall, apples, Halloween, pumpkin, Thanksgiving and Christmas. It gets me excited about cooking and baking and this year I have this blog to share it.
Here are some of the more cultural foods I had the opportunity to try this past week. I plan to get back to regular posts this week and incorporate some of my inspiration from my travels.
Pork-filled Dumplings and Sauerkraut in Prague
Medovnik (Honey Cake) in Prague
Goulash and Bacon and White Bread Dumplings in Prague
Turkish Lamb Kebab in Vienna
Langos (fry bread) with garlic and cheese in Budapest
Hungarian Paprika Chicken with Egg Dumplings in Budapest
My stomach is growling now. Glad you’re back!
Oh my gosh! What a spread of food! Europe is def the time to splurge- so I am so so glad you enjoyed yourself. That fried bread looks ridiculously yummy!Can’t wait to see you re-create some of these recipes!!
Thanks!
I really had the goal of trying some local flavors. I am so glad I did. However, I think I’m ready for some juices and salads this week for sure. 🙂
