Овсяные блинчики с яблоком

Ну сколько можно есть овсяную кашу на завтрак. Мы ж не англичане :). Хотя по правде говоря эта каша гораздо чаще гостит на наших столах, чем в стране Биг Бэна. А виновайца всему на отечественный Шерлок Холмс, а точнее Доктор Ватсон и другие фильмы советского периода, где овсяная каша просто главенствовала на английском столе. Так …

Meat salad in apples

New Year! This is a special holiday for me. And every time I, like a little girl, wait for gifts under the Christmas tree from Santa Claus. After all, faith works miracles. The more we believe in something, the faster our desire will come true. When I’m in such a festive mood, I take great …

Beetroot and herring salad in eggs

Often inspiration draws its roots from completely unrelated things, objects, people or spheres. In my case, it caught up with me right in a store, where a new collection of clothes with seams facing out was presented on mannequins. Inside out (or vice versa) – this expression can often be found in fashion. On the …

Surimi rolls

When you live in a country for a long time, over time you adopt a way of behavior and habits, including culinary ones, even those that at first seemed strange.

Surimi salad in cucumber baskets

If you’ve ever been on celebration of Russian New Year or you are from Japan, than for sure you know what it is “SURIMI“. The funny part is that even sometimes surimi is called as “crab sticks”, it generally contains no crab (other than a tiny amount of crab extract that is sometimes added for …

Apple Charlotte Cake (eggs-free)

Visiting my parents and cooking for the party, I always take into account time and my effort. Of course, you can plan to cook even Croquembouche, but the probability of lonely Babel tower on the table is so high, that is better not to cook it once you’ve planed a whole set menu.

Baked carp with oranges

Well, although carp is very bony fish, it is very tasty, if you know how to cook it. I often tried this fish in different versions in Polish houses. Especially popular there is the carp aspic, stuffed carp (it’s just a delicacy, as the Poles say, “heaven in the mouth”) and fried carp. However, I always …

Beetroot soup

On the Christmas Eve table, the Polish Catholics usually have Ukrainian borscht, Hebrew carp, Greek fish and Russian vareniki. Even the Poles themselves sometimes laugh with such a festive “Polish set.” Preparing for my husband Christmas Eve menu (I celebrate Christmas after the New Year as I am Russian Ortodox), I decided not to go …

Delicious Cabbage Pie

Pie is a very festive dish for me. Perhaps because my mom makes pies for the holidays. Or maybe because the smell of growing yeast dough takes me far back to my childhood, when my grandmother baked pies for our entire large family. The pie dough in a huge enamel bowl stood near the oven …

Finnish fish soup Lohikeitto

A couple of years ago we spent 1.5 months in Helsinki. Everything was amazing: the weather, food, traditions and people. For example, the day of the vernal equinox was on Friday and a long weekend was declared. All shops, banks, offices, pharmacies, etc. worked until 12 pm on Friday and opened again only on Monday. …

Spinach roll with smoked salmon

With an introductory word, I will tell you a story about today’s hero – SPINACH! I lived in Poland for many years and every time the Poles (especially my generation of the 80s) cringed at the mere recollection of this plant. And the reason lies in the fact that they tried to feed them all …

Alexandertorte

Sometimes I throw myself a culinary challenge. This is manifested in the fact that I begin to prepare such dishes that it would be easier to go and buy if I were in my homeland. This is especially true for desserts. However, most of the goodies that come from my childhood in Dubai are not …

Banana pancakes with sago

Not long ago I discovered such a wonderful product as sago. It is a starch grain obtained from the pith of the sago palm tree. It is rich in carbohydrates and contains very little protein. The advantage of this cereal is the complete absence of gluten, which can cause allergies. It is important not to …

Fried pies with meat

As a child, when we went with the whole family to the city center for shopping, our parents always bought us pies, which were sold by the big aunt from a cart right on the street. They came with meat, fish or jam. And it doesn’t even matter how much meat there was in the …

Pies with buckwheat

Knysh is a dish of Belarusian cuisine, unfortunately forgotten even in its homeland. Extract from Wikipedia: “Knysh is a small round pie typical of Belarusian cuisine with cottage cheese baked inside (or placed on the surface, between the raised edges) or other filling: jam, or sauteed onions with cracklings.
