SOUP:    Schi (Cabbage Soup)

Schi is a centuries-old Russian soup, beloved for its simple ingredients and flavor that deepens over time. Traditionally enjoyed over several days, it gets tastier as the flavors meld. With Hungarian paprika, this version adds a modern twist to a classic comfort food.

MAIN COURSE:    Potato Stewed with Chicken

Potato and chicken stew is a classic example of everyday Eastern European comfort food. After potatoes were introduced to the region in the 18th century, they quickly became a staple, often paired with whatever meat was available. Slow simmering in one pot made this dish practical for village kitchens and outdoor cooking alike—much like your version, which has that rustic, fire-cooked feel.

DESSERT:    Croissants

Croissants, though famously French, actually trace their roots to Vienna, Austria! Their ancestor is the kipferl, a crescent-shaped pastry that dates back to at least the 13th century. Legend says Viennese bakers created it to celebrate the defeat of the Ottoman Turks — the crescent shape imitating the symbol on the Ottoman flag.

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.
