Mekitsi (fried dough buns) with lemonade, a recipe of grandma Elenka
There is no way that I show you Grandma Elenka’s Walnut buns, Grandma Elenka’s Langidi, without showing you Grandma Elenka’s MEKITSI. These ones here are with lemonade and are super delicious! When I was preparing them, I cut the ingredients in half from her recipe, which I had copied in my notebook, and still I fried only one part, and with the remained dough and I made a bread. I wonder for whom she cooked so much that the ingredients in the recipes are like for a whole regiment. Well, it is no suprise, remembering how many children we used to gather in the summer in our village – cousins…

Chocolate cake or how to use excess sourdough starter
This cake came at a time when I decided not to throw away the excess sourdough starter that remains after every feeding, and I decided to collect it in a jar in the fridge. Then I searched the internet and found this recipe on the internet site cookwithasmile.com and decided to make a cake with this “unnecessary” and inactivated sourdough starter. The result is a wonderful and rich cake with a fine structure. And if you do not have such a starter at home, you can easily replace it in this recipe with an equal amount of water and flour. I will be very happy if you prepare it and…

Quick Napoleon Cake
This is Napoleon cake. I made it about 2 weeks ago for my husband Theo’s birthday, because he just wanted one. I hadn’t cooked it before, and I had to figure out exactly how to prepare it. I read a lot of information on Russian culinary sites, as this is an extremely popular dessert in Russia. But according to various sources, the recipe comes from France from the 17th century – it was first written in 1651 by the French Pierre de la Warren, and later improved by Marie-Antoine Karem. For this reason, it may carry the name of the French emperor Napoleon, but others associate it with the Italian…
