My first cookbook was published in April 2026, with more titles to follow as part of the From the Heart of Europe series.

As with my other cookbooks, the joy is in discovering your favourites. You might fall for Hungarian pancakes filled with walnuts and drizzled with chocolate sauce, Polish savoury pancakes rolled, breaded, and fried, or perhaps a beautifully simple yet elegant Austrian pancake bake
