Cheesecake with strawberries

It was the first cheesecake with strawberries in this summer season that I decided to prepare in my kitchen. I’m allergic to strawberries but I really like this sweet, juicy fruit. This is the best moment to buy and try to introduce fresh fruits and vegetables in our diet. How you can prepare this cheesecake?

It’s very easy.

You will need:

1 box of butter biscuits (about 250-300 g) crushed to crumbs

1 tablespoon of peanut butter

1 table spoon of butter

1 ready cheesecake filling (193g)

500 ml of milk

About 1 kg of strawberries

Mix crushed biscuits with butter, peanut butter and put them into the tin. Make the filling: place milk and ready cheesecake filling into a bowl, then mix with an electric mixer. Put the cream onto the biscuit base and strawberries on the top. Leave to set in the fridge.

Polish dumplings

 

Last Sunday we were in Mandu – a small restaurant in Oliwa district in Gdańsk, where you can try different kinds of dumplings. I wanted to discover this popular place because I read about it in Internet. This restaurant is famous for very good cuisine and a possibility to observe how they prepare dumplings just before they serve them on a plate.

 Dumplings are cooked balls of dough. Two basics ingredients that we use to prepare polish dumplings are flour and water. They may have a sweet or savoury filling. Typically they are cooked by boiling but in Mandu you can also try baked dumplings. If you visit Gdańsk, you must eat dinner in this place. We’ve chosen baked Mexican dumplings with mixed meat-vegetables filling and khinkali – Georgian dumplings with spicy meat filling and chopped parsley. Everything was delicious. Next time I would like to try dumplings with raspberry and chopped mint filling served with sour cream.

Our visit in Kazimierz Dolny

I spent two days with my husband in Kazimierz Dolny. It was the first anniversary of our wedding. We really like travelling but we don’t have enough time to do it regularly. Kazimierz Dolny is a small town in south-west of Poland, on the right bank of Vistula. This beautiful place has been the location of several films. There’s a lot of small galleries with art folk and restaurants where you can spend a time, eat something delicious and take a coffee. The famous symbol of Kazimierz is a cock. You can even buy bread cocks form in Sarzyński’s bakery.

I wanted to try traditional Jewish cuisine so we went to restaurant ‘U fryzjera’. For the first time in my life I ate gęsi pipek (it’s a stuffed goose neck) and dumplings with salad of carrots in sweet spicy sauce. It was a great experience for me. You can see pictures below :)
