STARTER: Cheese Balls with Cherry Tomatoes

These colorful cheese balls are a popular party appetizer in Belarus and neighboring countries. Creamy cheese, garlic, and egg form a savory shell around a juicy cherry tomato center, while fresh dill adds a bright herbal coating. They look elegant on a holiday table and require no cooking beyond boiling the egg.

NEW RECIPE
Skillet Fish Pie
This pie is one of those rare recipes that tastes like it came from the oven while being cooked entirely on the stovetop. It is an excellent choice for hot summer days, camping with a gas burner, vacation rentals, or any time you want a homemade meal without heating the entire kitchen. I also like that the batter is neutral enough to work with almost any savory filling, making it a recipe you'll come back to again and again.
