STARTER:    Egg Salad Sandwich with Tomato, Chives & Parsley

The egg salad sandwich likely originated in late 19th–early 20th century Europe and the U.S., when chopped boiled eggs mixed with mayonnaise became popular. It spread quickly as a cheap, protein-rich lunch, especially in American delis and lunchboxes. Your version with tomato, chives, and parsley is a fresh modern twist.

SALAD:    Spinach Salad with Tangerines and Pomegranate Seeds

Pomegranate seeds — or arils — have been symbols of fertility, prosperity, and eternal life for thousands of years. In ancient Persia and Greece, the pomegranate was considered a sacred fruit connected to goddesses like Persephone and Aphrodite. Today, it’s still a sign of good luck and renewal in many cultures — and nutrition-wise, it’s packed with antioxidants that support heart health and glowing skin.

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:    Pirozhki with apples

Life is full of tough decisions, like choosing between a juicy apple and a slice of apple pie – but why not have both and call it balanced fruitrition!

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.
