When the days get shorter, the mornings become foggy and the chill in the air gets that characteristic “winter bite”, we are awakened by the need for warmth – not only in the form of a scarf and tea, but also on a plate. In such moments, we remember dishes that not only fill us up, but also caress the soul. One such culinary embrace comes straight from the Austrian Alps – Kaiserschmarrn. But not the kind from a bag or the one from a tourist hut with questionable raisins. We are talking about the home-made version from the oven, which with its golden-brown crust and soft interior turns winter evenings into little sweet holidays.

Because why go to a restaurant when you can recreate the iconic Big Mac taste right at home – and without any secret ingredients or clowns in the background.
When is reheating food really a good idea and when does it pose a risk?
Hot chocolate is much more than just cocoa in milk. It is a traditional drink with a long history that has evolved and been perfected over the centuries.
The meat is roasted. But it doesn't taste as it should. Not because the meat is bad or because the seasoning is missing, but because of one little habit that happens before the meat even gets into the pan. If smoke appears while roasting meat, you're not roasting the meat, you're burning it.

Rice doesn't stick together on its own. Something goes wrong in the process. Always. Either the water, or the heat, or the wrong moment. One ingredient can stop it. No complications, no cooking myths.
A wooden spoon is one of those objects that exists almost unnoticed in the kitchen. It does not demand attention, does not stand out, but is always at hand. In its simplicity, it carries the idea of warmth, homeliness and tradition, while at the same time raising a surprisingly modern question: is it still a suitable choice in an era of sterile surfaces, technological materials and a constant emphasis on hygiene? It is precisely in this contrast between emotion and reason that its charm – and its dilemma – lies.
How to capture the scent of the holidays in a drink? Something different than the usual mulled wine or hot chocolate? A gingerbread cream cocktail?
December get-togethers are changing. More and more people are avoiding alcohol – whether for health reasons, lifestyle reasons or simply because they’ve discovered that partying doesn’t require intoxicants. And that’s where non-alcoholic punch comes in – a drink that looks like wine, smells like Christmas and tastes like the holidays.
If the smell of cinnamon and cloves instantly conjures up a holiday fair, then you're in good company. In recent years, a new classic has been taking over holiday evenings – non-alcoholic mulled wine. The perfect choice for anyone who wants a warm winter drink without the consequences the next day (or bad news on the drive home). And even better – no one misses alcohol when the taste is done right.
