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:    Beef Chili Soup (Chili Con Carne)

Chili soup, or chili con carne, originated in 19th-century Texas, blending Mexican and Native American influences. It began as a simple stew of meat, chili peppers, and spices, gaining popularity through San Antonio’s "Chili Queens" and later spreading across the U.S.

MAIN COURSE:    Grandma’s Yeast Fritters (Oladyi)

Grandma’s yeast fritters (дрожжевые оладьи) come from traditional Russian home cooking and are common throughout Eastern Europe. They were especially popular in village households, where yeast doughs were everyday food and ingredients like flour, milk (or water), and oil were always on hand. These fritters were often made on weekends or for holidays, served warm with sour cream, honey, jam, or sugar.

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.
