To us, one of the most important aspects of being Workaway hosts is to keep our Volunteers HAPPY and FULL. The kitchen is the heart of our house and becomes a place where we not only prepare meals /as a part of Workaway deal – food and accomodation for your help/ but it is a place for mixing, blending, frying many international languages, traditions, and cultures. A place for hot discussions, laughter and creativity. Here people share their stories, family recipies, learn to cook and suprise you with amazing dishes from their countries. This is what we love – wonderful dynamics and cuisine from around world, here, in small village, somewhere in Poland…
Our garden is full of herbs, vegetables and fruits
Last year volunteers really pampered us with delicious food. I am sure I put some weight on. Enough to say – we hosted a French chef for a month!

Last week we repeated two recipies which Spanish and German Workawayers left for us. I will share them with you as a beginning of our “Workaway Cook Book” – it is time to do “Ordnung” with all these recipies… Today – Vegan Tortilla and Vegan Red Cabbage!!!!
Work in progress, but anybody fancy pancakes?!!!
VEGAN TORTILLA
- 1 CUP OF GRAMFLOUR
- 1 CUP OF WATER
- 4 BIG POTATOES
- 1 BIG ONION
- SUNFLOWER OIL
- SALT, PEPPER
Peel onion and potatoes, cut in small pieces. Heat oil, fry potatoes /oil should almost cover potatoes/. Once the potatoes start to soften, add onion. Keep stiring until vegs are soft.
Mix 1 cup of gramflour with 1 cup of water in the blender, mix for 2 minutes.
Drain potatoes and onions, put them on the kitchen paper to remove excess oil. Mix vegetables with blend of flour and water.
Pour the mixture into a large frying pan(Preferably non stick) with plenty of oil. Cook on low heat, opening the tortilla carefully with a wooden spoon so it cooks inside. Once the liquid is almost solid, turn tortilla and fry again on the another side.
