Red Borscht Recipe

By 10 Comments

There are many famous dishes in the world, claimed by several nations to be historically theirs. Some nations go further by telling that this or that dish symbolizes their national identity. Down the road we will be dealing with many such recipes. In this blog I am not intended to fuel this sort of disputes, rather I view all recipes as world heritage and of course I will try to trace the historical origin to give rightful credit to claiming sides. Today I present to your judgment one version of borscht, cabbage soup, which is claimed by Russians and Ukrainians. Both of them are Slavic nations and that is the uniting part. Red Borscht became very popular in former soviet states. There are little deviations in Red Borscht recipe and the funny part is that most of them are claimed to be either original or classic. Personally I do not believe in originality, you modify or improvise as you wish as long as you keep the essential ingredients and cooking pattern or you risk to invent completely different dish. We are going to publish different versions of borscht, you choose which one is closer to your taste. I started with the one we like the most.

Crispy Waffle Recipe

The crispy waffle recipe I am going to publish today is my long searched one. Crispy outside and soft inside, this waffle conquered our hearts. Besides, it is easy to make. Waffle recipes like many other recipes have hundreds of variations. With little ingredient change, a new waffle recipe is invented. And we tend to hear following phrase frequently “Wow, I found best waffle recipe, I will text you the source”. I obtained this recipe in a similar way. Although I like this recipe so much, I believe, this is not the last one I am going to share with you all.

Fried Cauliflower Recipe

By 3 Comments

Cauliflower is coming back and regaining its rightful place in everyone’s kitchens. There is no need to count its benefits, most of us know them all.  There is also plenty of information available about the benefits of this magical vegetable.  Despite all of good stuff cauliflower provides,  many still choose potato side dishes to cauliflower. I believe this generally happens due to lack of cauliflower appreciation or we list cauliflower in the category of acquired tastes. If so let’s try really hard to acquire that taste. It might be a little challenging at first. But I assure you, with a good recipe in hand everything is possible.  Experiment with different cauliflower recipes and suitable sauces,  enjoy both tastes and benefits.

Beef Salad Recipe

I remember when this salad was first introduced into our household. When I was a teenager our mom used to invite guests almost every other week. Subsequently, we would invite everyone around the table and share food that we cooked along with our mom. Gradually cooking became an art in our kitchen. We would look for unique recipes and work on them endlessly to create something interesting.

I mean – YUM! Of course you do need to like either the ricotta cheese or the farmer’s cheese for this recipe (ehm, made out of skim milk). In our family, we love both. You have to try these Fruit and Cheese Bars! Every time I have farmer’s cheese in my refrigerator, I know what to use it for! Choices are countless. I hope to share it all with you one by one. This particular recipe has three layers of fruits. Favorite of my children and those who like fruity desserts. Please let me know if you like any of the recipes. I love feedback! :)

Make no mistake, this is no ordinary lemon pie recipe. Many of the lemon pies I have tried are usually too sour, starchy and plain not good. My mother-in-law’s simple recipe beats all other lemon pies for me. If you are longing for some real lemon pie with real lemons in it, you’ve hit the jackpot by trying this one out! This pie is one of my easiest so far and requires minimal ingredients. Your guest are going to be raving over it. Take my word for it:)
