STARTER:    Cabbage and Egg Pie

This cabbage and egg pie is a classic of Slavic home cooking — the kind of cozy, familiar dish that generations have baked for family gatherings and everyday comfort. Soft yeast dough, gently braised cabbage, and simple ingredients come together to create a warm, nostalgic pie that feels like it’s straight from a traditional home kitchen.

MAIN COURSE:    Potato-Chicken Casserole

This recipe can be varied: use other ground meats, finely chopped ham, or any other meat. I think it's especially good for using up leftovers from Thanksgiving. You can also grate zucchini or pumpkin, or both, along with the potatoes.
