STARTER: Corn Dogs
|
|
|
Corn dogs are one of America's most iconic fairground foods. The combination of a juicy hot dog wrapped in a crisp, golden cornmeal batter became popular at state fairs and amusement parks during the mid-20th century. This version uses kefir, which gives the batter a slight tang and helps create a light, tender coating.

SOUP: Schi (Cabbage Soup)
|
|
|
Schi is a centuries-old Russian soup, beloved for its simple ingredients and flavor that deepens over time. Traditionally enjoyed over several days, it gets tastier as the flavors meld. With Hungarian paprika, this version adds a modern twist to a classic comfort food.

MAIN COURSE: Meat Patties

|
You can use any meat for these patties. I prefer a mixture of beef, pork and veal in a 1:1:1 ratio.

DESSERT: Cake “Ladies’ Fingers”
|
|
|
This cake is a quiet showstopper: simple choux pastries, a cloud‑soft cream, and a shape that looks playful and elegant all at once. It’s the kind of dessert that feels nostalgic even if you’re trying it for the first time.

NEW RECIPE
Lavender Syrup
Lavender syrup has long been made in Provence, France, where fields of fragrant lavender bloom every summer. This homemade version uses freshly harvested culinary lavender blossoms to create a delicate floral syrup that pairs beautifully with coffee, tea, lemonade, sparkling water, cocktails, and desserts. The flavor is subtle and elegant—never overpowering—when steeped for the proper amount of time.
