Banana and Chocolate Jam

My jam is banana jam. With chocolate. Perfect with pancakes and crepes. You’re gonna love it, I’m sure :-D In Belgrade, one of the most beloved crepe filling is Nutella-banana-cookies and this jam is like 2/3 of it already. All you need to do is crumble some cookies on top of it. Might even try it on a slice of toast for breakfast or as a snack 8) The amount this recipe is small, just enough for you to try it out and see if you’re OK with the amounts of sugar and chocolate. And the most important thing, you can make it all year round.

Bounty Cake

When I think of a cake, I think of Bounty. A must on every birthday in my family for years, and still everybody’s favorite. It entered our lives during the 1990-es, when my mother got the recipe from our neighbor. The ’90-es were the years of economic sanctions and very shitty times for all the Balkans, so people got very inventive in making copycat recipes of the famous sweets. It was either too expensive or impossible to find, but hey, no problem, we’ll make it ourselves :wink: Funny thing is that this recipe came from a person who wasn’t a good cook at all and mom had to tweak it a lot to suit our taste. Anyway, of all the copycat recipes that were invented at those times, I find this one the most successful one as the taste is soo very close to the original. read more

Sour Cherry Phyllo Pie

There is something about a cherry pie. And where I come from, it’s a phyllo pie, and sour cherries are used. When picking time comes, and when they lay cozy in their crates, it’s time to pit them and prepare for the freezer. But each time, my family steals an amount to make a fresh sour cherry phyllo pie. To eat while rest from pitting cherries, with our fingers and clothes stained with the juices. read more
