STARTER:    Hot Tuna Sandwich

The combination of tuna, mayonnaise, and melted cheese brings together textures and flavors that are both rich and satisfying, while baking it in the oven creates a crisp exterior with a warm, gooey center. It's the ideal upgrade for a classic tuna sandwich, elevating it into a dish that's comforting, yet just a bit indulgent.

SOUP:    Italian Wedding Soup

Italian Wedding Soup traces its origins to Italy, where it was called "Minestra Maritata," meaning "married soup." The name refers to the blending of ingredients like meat and leafy greens, a tradition dating back to ancient Roman times when similar soups were made with whatever was on hand.

MAIN COURSE:    Fish Burgers

The first fish burger to make it big—McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish—was created in 1962 by a Cincinnati franchise owner after noticing his sales dropped every Friday when local Catholic customers avoided meat. It became so popular that it beat out a rival idea called the “Hula Burger” (a grilled pineapple sandwich!) in a sales test—and has been on menus ever since.

NEW RECIPE

   Pumpkin Doughnuts

   * You may need more or less vegetable oil. It depends on the size of the pan you will be frying the donuts in. * All ingredients for the dough should be at room temperature. 1. Heat the milk (to approximately 40°C). Add the yeast. Stir, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let stand for 15-20 minutes. The yeast should become frothy. 2. In a large bowl: mix the dissolved yeast with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Add 3 egg yolks and 350 g of pumpkin puree. Mix. Sift in half of the flour. Mix. Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt and mix. Then gradually add the remaining flour, kneading the dough well (you can do this by hand or with a mixer with a dough hook attachment). Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. 3. Add 2.5 tablespoons of softened butter to the dough. Knead the dough well again. Cover the bowl with the dough with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let it rise. The time depends on the room temperature, from 40 minutes to 1.5 hours. The dough should double in volume. 4. Place the dough on a floured surface. Roll it out to a thickness of approximately 1 inch. Cut out circles. Tie each circle with cotton butcher's twine string, giving it a pumpkin shape. Place the finished pumpkins on a floured tray and cover with a clean, dry towel to prevent the dough from drying out. 5. In a bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon, and, if using, 1 tablespoon of pumpkin spice. 6. Prepare a large plate lined with paper towels for placing the donuts after frying. Place scissors and the bowl with sugar and cinnamon next to it. 7. Prepare a large plate lined with parchment paper for the finished pumpkins. 8. Over high heat: heat the oil in a deep pan or pot. (The oil is hot enough if, when you dip a wooden spoon into it, bubbles form around the spoon.) Reduce the heat to medium. Fry the donuts on both sides until golden brown. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Let cool slightly, cut and remove the strings. Roll donuts in the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Place them on a plate lined with parchment paper. Repeat with all the donuts. 9. Optionally, decorate the donuts with cinnamon sticks. *** COFEE-FLAVORED CREAM Ingredients: white chocolate - 100 g, cream - 200 g, instant coffee - 2 tablespoons, butter - 2 tablespoons, spices (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg) - to taste. Mix all the ingredients in a saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring continuously until the chocolate is completely dissolved. Do not boil! Strain the resulting mixture through a sieve into a clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for 4 hours. Whip with a mixer. Put the cream into a pastry bag. Make indentations in the donuts and fill them with the cream. ***

   Фруктовый торт

   Персики вынуть из банки. Киви – помыть, снять шкурку и порезать на кружочки. Бананы почистить и тоже порезать на кружочки. Сметану очень тщательно взбить с сахаром, так, чтобы сметана хорошенько загустела. Развести желатин в 150 граммах воды и распустить желатин на водяной бане. Потом осторожно добавить желатин во взбитую сметану и перемешать. Остывший бисквит порезать на квадратики приблизительно 2x2 см. Дно разъемной формы выложить кусочками бисквита (половину всех кусочков), дальше – слой фруктов (персиков, киви, бананов) и все это залить половиной взбитой сметаны. Потом опять положить слой бисквита и фруктов, и залить их оставшейся сметаной. Поставить торт в холодильник, чтобы крем немного застыл. Клубнику помыть, почистить, промокнуть салфеткой, порезать на половинки. Приготовить желе по рецепту, написанному на пачке, но воды брать в два раза меньше, чем написано в рецепте. На застывший торт сверху выложить клубнику, залить ее готовым желе и поставить уже готовый торт окончательно застывать в холодильник. Торт лучше всего готовить накануне, чтобы он постоял в холодильнике ночь. Перед подачей на стол, ножом провести между тортом и стенками разъемной формы. Снять бока у формы. Торт вместе с нижней подставкой поставить на блюдо и подать на стол.
