How to freeze whole berries even with a small freezer

Hello everyone!

Today I will write a bit different post than usually. There will be no recipe in terms of cooking but I will share my little secret of storing berries. Summer is a season of many fresh berries but we cannot and shouldn’t eat them all at once. Usually I was freezing some berries for winter but blended with sugar. It is a great way but gives a lot of limitations of how berries can be used afterwords.

One day I was watching a cat of my friends and they have a nice yard with different berries. I picked some raspberries and it was too much to eat them all at once. So, I started Googling how can I freeze whole raspberries and every post was saying put them on a flat tray in one layer. Hm…I had a problem of doing it. I didn’t have space in a freezer. I looked on my raspberries and thought that there should be some solution. I wanted so badly to have whole raspberries for cake decorations and my morning smoothie bowls, and in one flash I new – I have a solution. Continue reading

Let’s get to know each other

My name is Ivanna Baturynska. I am Ukrainian girl who lives in Norway nowadays. I am a big fan of cooking and baking. My first experience with cooking was over 20 years ago. It is actually a funny story. Once my dad said to me: “You know how to cook, if you at least once made the Borsch“.  So I made this dish for the first time when I was 7 year old little girl. Since then, I am cooking everyday. After I had moved to Norway, I started to bake and in 3 years I started creating my own recipes. My friends love to try them and they have their own favourites. In this blog I will both share with you all knowledge that I already have and of course learn a lot of new stuff together with all of you. If you are interested in some information regarding cooking or baking, just let me know in the comments.
