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.

SALAD:    Layered salad with fried mushrooms

In Belarus, layered salads with mushrooms are often called “пуховые салаты” — “fluffy salads” — because each layer is gently pressed to stay airy, not dense, giving the dish its signature soft, cloud‑like texture.

NEW RECIPE

   Smoked BBQ Shrimp

These smoked shrimp are incredibly juicy, lightly smoky, and coated in a tangy barbecue glaze with horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh lemon juice. They cook quickly over gentle indirect heat, making them an excellent appetizer or main course for backyard cookouts. Apple or alder wood adds a mild, sweet smoke that complements the delicate flavor of the shrimp without overpowering them.
