Hello, everyone! This is my first post here and I'm a bit nervous. It would be better if I told a few words about me before blogging. So let's go!
My name is Anna and I'm a student. I'm keen on cooking and photography which I devote all my free time to. I get real pleasure from the process and kindly smile when my neighbours are knocking at the door curiously moving their noses to catch wonderful aroma of the baking.
Yeah, I love baking most of all. A piece of homemade cake with a cup of hot tea or coffee creates amazing atmosphere of cosiness and reminds me of my sweet and careless childhood.
Autumn has already come. Not only just solar month but also with cold rainy weather. It's time to spend the weekend at home watching favourite films with Audrey Hepburn and cooking something sweet. And warming from the hot oven while baking a delicious treat.
Do you like figs? I have tasted them at first time this year and fallen in love immediately. I buy them at local market almost every day and eat and eat and can't stop. Am I well? I baked them in the oven filling with goat cheese and walnut stuff and wrapping with bacon slices. Cooked jam, a lot of jars of sweet jam for winter evening tea (hope I won't eat it before!). Ate fresh drizzling with honey or maple syrup. And, of course, made my favourite fig and raspberry galette.
This is a good example when summer meets autumn. I mean summer raspberry and autumn figs. I must admit that it is a perfect combination. The tandem of sour berries and fig sweetness creates a tasty bunch of flavors. Don't remember about crispy sugared dough. Ohhh...it's worth tasting!
I was baking it late in the evening yesterday and this was my fault. It smelt so magic that I couldn't restrain myself and tasted a small piece. Stunning!
I was looking forward to the morning to enjoy my breakfast. The galette seems to become more delicious. A big cup of hot cocoa was a lovely addition. Cheerful beginning of the day, isn't it?
