While I was living in London, I started illustrating some recipes and posted them on a recipe blog.
chicken in love
This is the first recipe I drew. All the illustrations are drawn with a Wacom pen and tablet and later edited in Photoshop. They all perfectly fit iPad because I often check my recipes on the tablet in the kitchen.
The magical sauce is my mum's recipe that is perfect for all meats, and grilled vegetables.

sardine pasta
This was my staple dish in London since I was saving money and tried to make great tasting dishes with cheapest ingredients.
At this time, a can of sardines in Sainsbury's cost only 60p. Other "poor Irena"'s favourite ingredient was chicken liver (99p per package).
pumpkin soup
I still make this soup during cold season. It really makes a difference to roast the pumpkin first, since the "umami" increases than just boiling it.
Nowadays I use a hand blender and blend it while it is in the pan.
