About Me

Welcome to my culinary website!

My name’s Kateryna Maznikova, and I’m a certified cook (Rouxbe Professional Cook Certification) and a professional banker : )

I’m originally from South Ukraine and a few years ago my family and I moved to Vienna, where I currently live, work and create. Culinary is my way of exploring the world and expressing myself. Being in a constant search for new tastes, stories, techniques, and senses, I’ve recently realized what culinary actually means in terms of the modern world and my life. It can be described in three words: Taste. Respect. Harmony. Let me now explain what I mean:

Taste.

Whatever diets and trends, food must be delicious and it will be if one chooses the right ingredients and cooking techniques.

Respect.

You should respect yourself: your body, soul and mind. Don’t overeat, don’t eat junk  food (or at least not too often : )), get not only nutrients from your food but also knowledge, inspiration, and delight;

Respect food – buy less but better-quality food from reliable suppliers, plan your meal, minimize food waste, respect nature, and human labor;

Respect people surrounding you and try your hardest to make food pleasurable – mind your table manners, lay a beautiful table, cook for and with your family and loved ones, invite friends to yours, treat them with good food, host breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and other kinds of parties:).

Harmony.

In the modern world, there is an abundance of ready nutrition plans, processed food, and over-enhanced tastes. The world responds to this abundance with extreme and unordinary diets. What diet is right for you? In fact, it’s quite easy. You should plan your diet according to the season, place where you live, your emotional and physical condition, state of your mind, lifestyle and your level of physical activity.

Taste. Respect. Harmony. is my view on a healthy nutrition in the modern world.

Here you will find various recipes (with photos taken by me) from different countries and periods, both easy and complex, and suitable for different diets. Each recipe has its own story, cooking technique, and all of them can be cooked at home.

Welcome and let your cooking be pleasant and interesting!

In Austria, a wide variety of Aufstriche — savor In Austria, a wide variety of Aufstriche — savory sandwich spreads — are very popular. You’ll find them served in traditional wine taverns called Heuriger, as well as in cafés, hotels, and restaurants, especially at breakfast. These spreads are typically made with a base of quark or cream cheese, combined with various flavorful ingredients like paprika, spring onions, blue cheese, fresh herbs, and more.⁠
⁠
The most iconic spread is Liptauer — a creamy cheese spread with deep roots in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It remains popular today in Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary. The name comes from the Slovak region of Liptov, which was part of the empire.⁠
⁠
The classic version of Liptauer is made with cow’s milk cream cheese — but today, we’re making a dairy-free twist! You can use store-bought vegan cream cheese or make your own from scratch.⁠
⁠
For a more festive or flavorful version, feel free to add capers, anchovies, mustard, pickles, chopped herbs, green onions, or garlic to the basic recipe.⁠
⁠
Bon Appetit!⁠
⁠
Ingredients:⁠
200 g Vegan cream-cheese⁠
1/8 of an Onion⁠
1/4 Paprika red⁠
1 tsp Paprika powder sweet⁠
1/4 tsp Honey⁠
to taste Lemon juice⁠

Dairy-free cream-cheese.⁠ This is an exceptional Dairy-free cream-cheese.⁠
This is an exceptionally creamy, soft, dairy-free cheese made from soy yogurt and coconut milk. You can enjoy it as is, use it to make spreads like Liptauer, or incorporate it into desserts such as vegan cheesecakes. In other words, it’s just as much of a culinary player as traditional cream cheese made from cow’s milk.⁠
Enjoy!⁠

Carrot Cake Banana Bread.⁠ Combining banana brea Carrot Cake Banana Bread.⁠
Combining banana bread and carrot cake? Now that’s a brilliant idea! Both cakes have similar textures, and their flavors complement each other perfectly. That’s why this banana-carrot fusion has already become a near-classic. There are many variations on the theme — and we’ll start with this dense, moist, and incredibly flavorful loaf, with a delightful texture thanks to the addition of walnuts and shredded coconut.⁠
⁠
You can bake this cake with any gluten-free flour you like — I prefer a whole grain gluten-free flour blend.⁠
⁠
For the topping, I used a vegan cream cheese with just a touch of powdered sugar. Since the cake itself is quite sweet, the frosting should be almost unsweetened for balance.⁠
⁠
Enjoy!⁠

Creamy mushroom and cauliflower soup.⁠ Cream sou Creamy mushroom and cauliflower soup.⁠
Cream soups are a wonderful way to eat more vegetables. They give familiar ingredients a completely new character — smooth, creamy, and gently flavored. Think about it: a cream soup and a salad can be made from the same vegetables, yet feel like totally different dishes.⁠
⁠
You can make cream soups from almost any vegetable, as well as from mushrooms, herbs, or green peas. Most often, one main ingredient is used to highlight a strong, distinct flavor — like mushroom cream soup, spinach soup, or pumpkin soup.⁠
⁠
Today, we’re making a two-ingredient cream soup featuring a perfect pairing: mushrooms bring rich umami depth, while cauliflower creates a creamy, velvety texture. You can use cauliflower with its leaves, but if you want a light beige soup without a green tint, use only the florets.⁠
⁠
As always: simple, wholesome, and delicious.⁠
⁠
Enjoy!⁠

Rhubarb yogurt upside down cake (gluten-free, dair Rhubarb yogurt upside down cake (gluten-free, dairy-free).⁠
Rhubarb — you could say it’s the first “spring fruit” you can bake pies with, although technically, it’s a herbaceous plant and a relative of buckwheat.⁠
Its thick stalks have a tangy flavor with a subtle strawberry aroma. Rhubarb is quite popular in Austria and is used in both sweet and savory dishes.⁠
⁠
Yesterday, my friends and I visited a local market, and I picked up some beautiful, super-fresh rhubarb. Today, we’re baking an upside-down cake.⁠
A quick tip about rhubarb: try to choose dark reddish stalks. The deeper the color, the prettier your cake will be — a lovely bright pink. Cakes made with green rhubarb stalks taste just as good but don’t look as striking.⁠
⁠
You can arrange the rhubarb at the bottom of the pan in many different ways. This time, I cut it into cubes and placed them in a checkerboard pattern. Whatever design you choose, make sure to pack the rhubarb pieces tightly together so the batter doesn’t seep through too much.⁠
⁠
This recipe is for a 23 cm (9 inch) pan.⁠
⁠
Ingredients:⁠
Filling:⁠
800 g of Rhubarb⁠
50 g of Sugar white⁠
1 tbsp of Coconut oil⁠
Dough:⁠
70 g of Coconut oil ⁠
130 g of Sugar white⁠

Whole-grain gluten-free sourdough bread.⁠ If you Whole-grain gluten-free sourdough bread.⁠
If you’re going to go through the effort of cultivating a natural gluten-free sourdough starter, let it be for real bread. This is a foundational recipe for whole grain gluten-free, dairy-free sourdough bread. As you can see in the photo, the loaf has a perfect texture with fine air pockets and a crisp crust. But most importantly, this is a truly nourishing, slow-fermented product — rich in vitamins, fiber, and deep flavor.⁠
⁠
By blending various types of whole gluten-free flours, we not only boost the nutritional value but also develop a complex, satisfying taste. This bread is low in starch and has a pleasantly dense, elastic crumb. It stays fresh for several days without needing to be toasted.⁠
⁠
In other words, if you’re serious about gluten-free eating — and still want to enjoy good bread — this recipe is a must-have in your collection.⁠
⁠
Enjoy!⁠

Burnt Basque Cheesecake (dairy-free).⁠ The Burnt Burnt Basque Cheesecake (dairy-free).⁠
The Burnt Basque Cheesecake originated in San Sebastian, a city in the Basque Country of northern Spain. It was created by Santiago Rivera, the chef at a cozy bar called La Viña. This dessert was first introduced around 1990. Rivera aimed to make a cheesecake that didn’t have a crust, featuring a caramelized top and a soft, creamy center. He played around with the temperature and baking time to get a cake that had a burnt top but stayed moist and tender inside. That’s how it got its name: Burnt Basque Cheesecake.⁠
Although it has existed since the 1990s, this cheesecake rose to popularity in the 2010s, largely due to social media. What makes Basque cheesecake unique is its blend of caramelized bitterness on the surface and a creamy, slightly salty center, all without a crust. The basic ingredients are rather simple: cream cheese, eggs, sugar, cream and just a touch of flour.⁠
To get close to the taste and look of the dessert, but make it dairy-free, we’ll have to get creative. We’ll use silken tofu for a smooth texture, natural soy yogurt for a tangy flavor, lemon or lime juice for added acidity and coconut cream for a rich consistency. ⁠
The result is amazing –  a toasted caramel crust, a creamy cheesecake-like texture and a tangy flavor reminiscent of cottage cheese. It’s delightful and super easy to make!⁠
⁠
Ingredients:⁠
400 g Silken tofu⁠
400 g Coconut cream⁠
400 g Soy yogurt ⁠
3 Egg(s)⁠
1 Vanilla pod⁠
80 g Corn starch⁠
120 g Sugar white⁠
1/2 tsp Salt⁠
50 ml Lemon juice⁠

Coconut Custard Honey Cake.⁠ Let me be clear: th Coconut Custard Honey Cake.⁠
Let me be clear: this recipe isn’t focused on health benefits; it’s all about celebrating birthdays or any festive occasion when you’re craving a cake and have the time to put in some effort. It’s gluten and dairy-free, but still super sweet, so don’t overindulge.⁠
⁠
This honey cake is absolutely amazing – it’s soft, has a hint of honey, and looks gorgeous with its thin layers of cake and creamy filling in the cross-section. It doesn’t have the usual tang of sour cream. Instead, it offers delightful hints of vanilla and coconut.⁠
⁠
I just want to point out that this recipe is relatively easy,  but it does take some time, so I don’t make it often.⁠
⁠
The cake tastes best after resting in the fridge overnight,  so I suggest making it the day before your special occasion.⁠
⁠
