Hi, I am Lenka

living, baking, biking and hiking in Park City, Utah and this blog is my baking diary.

Kneading the dough on my grandma’s knees is what I lively remember any time I wander with my memories back to childhood. Mixing, whisking, licking out the bowls, kneading, filling, baking and most of all, cherishing seasonal ingredients and turning them into delicious breads, pastries and cakes- that always was my happy haven wherever life takes me. Back when I was eight with my grandma and today with hearty memories following her recipes.

Returning back to traditional Slovak cuisine and especially to baked goods was a natural transition to my own culture and heritage and feel of a home while I am living far away from home – in my new homes all around the world 

My blog is my baking diary. It is a collection of recipes I learned how to bake from both my grandmas. Another are holiday staples that my mom prepares every year, every time the very same way. Some of them are inspiring recipes that I came across reading traditional cookbooks & amazing food blogs. Many of them I developed over the course of time, experimenting & playing with local ingredients from places around the world I had a chance to live – my homes away from home. 

This blog is a personal story of my life expressed thru food – with a respect and focus on my roots & traditions

Dobrú Chuť, Lenka
