In Latin American cuisine this Chocoflan cake is also called an “Impossible cake“. And probably it got this name because you’ll rarely see a combination of pie and pudding in one baking dish! Usually everyone bakes one or the other. But everything is possible in the kitchen if you really want, so I also decided…

Sometimes the names of Spanish dishes really make me laugh or make me very interested how the dish got the name. Brazo gitano translated from Spanish means a gipsy’s arm.

Nuostabus mėlynių pyragas/Wonderful blueberry pie
Šiemet mano gimtadienio tortas buvo kiek netradicinis, ne joks sluoksniuotis, o labai paprastas, bet be galo skanus mėlynių pyragiukas.

Tiesiog per gimtadienius nesinori gaminti, tik skanauti kas maaan pagaminta. Bet taip sutapo, kad turėjau šaldytų mėlynių pakuotę, ir pagalvojau…
Ploni lietiniai blynai/Thin crepes
Jau laukiu ateinant Kalėdų! Ta proga dauguma šiuo metu gaminamų patiekalų pas mane yra puošiami kalėdiškai ar bent jau nuotraukos su kalėdine atributika.

Kuomet atlikinėjau praktiką Ispanijoje, mano kolegė, tai pat praktikantė lietuvaitė, labai dažnai kepdavo lietinius blynus, sakydavo, kad čia…
