Hungarian Rice Cake (Rizskoch)

Hungarian rice cake or Rizskoch

Hungarian Rice Cake, called Rizskoch is a traditional Hungarian dessert that is like a form of rice pudding, only it is baked to form a cake. Some people add sultanas to the mix and others leave them out, I have made Hungarian Rice Cake both ways and prefer it with sultanas added to the mix. This cake is not overly sweet because traditionally it is served with jam, although I recently tried it with a drizzle of honey on top and really liked that. As some of you may know my husband is of Hungarian background and recently we travelled to Budapest. It was an amazing trip and it was great to be able to visit the city where my husband’s family is from. [Read more…]

Roasted Celeriac Mash with Paprika

Roasted celeriac mash with paprika

I’ve been on a bit of a celeriac/celery root kick lately. I had never even tasted it, let alone cooked with it until a few weeks ago. I recently just shared this recipe as a guest post over on ‘A Girl Worth Saving’ which also uses roasted celeriac but for this recipe I turned it into a mash. Celeriac is a funny looking vegetable but once you get past the look, the taste is delicious! Roasting and mashing celeriac are just a couple of ways to prepare it, you can also use it raw in salads, make soup with it or turn it into pasta like in this recipe. [Read more…]

Apple Chia Pudding with Kiwi

Apple chia pudding with kiwi fruit

A few years ago I stumbled upon a recipe for chia pudding and ever since then I’ve loved making and eating them. I don’t have them on a regular basis, but every now and then I get a craving for one and make a small batch. I recently made an apple chia pudding and topped it with some kiwi fruit. Kiwi fruit is in season right now and I love the taste of it. The apple and the kiwi in this chia pudding work perfectly since the apple is sweet and the kiwi is kind of tart. [Read more…]
