Weekend Crumbs

April 10, 2012 by Zizi

Last weekend was about Easter so I traveled home to Szeged. I was lucky to catch the blooming of magnolia trees at Széchenyi Square. This is a spot that everyone knows in town. It is basically the center of the city. Here you will find the Town Hall, a smaller park where you can walk to, sit down and relax (especially spring and summer time).

Szeged is the third largest city of Hungary, the largest city and regional centre of the Southern Great Plain. The town is famous of its paprika, the Pick salami, the fish soup, the university, river Tisza, the Open Air Theatre (they are held every summer) and the Cathedral.

Let’s see the crumbs…

My mom baked her famous kalács (the best one in the world!)… Kalács can be made for any holiday, but it has the most symbolism on Easter.

I took so many photos of the kalács and the eggs…

Would you like a nice cup of cappuccino?

Breakfast in bed. I don’t remember when we had something similar last time but we deserved it. That’s for sure! When did you have breakfast in bed last time?

Of course I baked during the long weekend. Instead of a cake I baked vegan almond, coconut and chocolate cupcakes for I.’s birthday. This was the first time I made vegan frosting and we loved it so much.

We started doing the gardening too in our small parcel in the community garden. We planted squash, zucchini, Swiss chard, carrot, radish, green bean, dill, coriander and garlic seeds. We’ll also have rhubarb, tomato and green pepper seedlings soon. I. and I are so excited to have a tiny space in the city where we can relax and have some time with mother nature.

Every spring I fell in love with the pink blossoming… I stand under a tree like this for 5 minutes and thank for her (yes, her!) for being so beautiful. 🙂

Weekend Crumbs

March 26, 2012 by Zizi

Another weekend crumbs… On Friday we had the chance to finally visit a cafe, called Nostro Gastronomy where the Italian owner, Carlo makes the best cappuccino in Budapest. It’s creamy, foamy and you forget everything if you drink a sip. The cafe also serves home made cakes, pastries (brioche and nonno torta are amazing!) and sandwiches. This is a place that is about dedication, their passion for culinary creations, where the ingredients in part come from the lush fields of Hungary, and where you feel always welcome and appreciated (so it’s a must visit cafe!).

Saturday morning was sunny and the farmers market was full of good energy and vibes. The nice weather attracted people to go to the market so it was packed. There are so many spring vegetables are available now and my favorite goat cheese too.

Demeter organic seeds

Bagatellini loaves

Saturday morning indulgence: croissant and cappuccino 🙂

Vegetarian potato stew was cooked at the community garden

After the hard work lunch is well deserved…

Sunday breakfast: vegan sugar-free carrot pancake with warm cinnamon honey (recipe coming soon)

Picnic in the park and a good book

Sunday early evening relax: vegan chai latte and magazines at Ecocafe…

The Venus, the Jupiter and the Moon on Sunday evening…
