Elleasha's famous millionaire Shortbread!!!

Recipe by: elleasha101chhiber

Be the first to review it!

I think its very easy, well most of it sure is anyway! The only bit that i really struggled on was the mixing of the ingredients, mixing it into breadcrumbs with your fingers bit i actually found that it was easier with the dough whisks. plus it deduces your mixing time by about 5-8 minutes. from then it gets pretty easy with the rolling and cuttting and everything...!

I made friends with a girl from Ukraine and after helping her find a flat and a job, she wanted to pay me back. I said no but suggested we cook a meal together. This is what we made, it was a great success and now we talk about recipes all the time.

Goulash in a hurry

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

This short-cut version of classic Hungarian goulash is rich and delicious. Strips of lean pork, shredded red cabbage and green pepper cook quickly and taste excellent with the traditional flavourings of paprika and caraway seeds. Serve rice or noodles and a simple green salad alongside, to complete the meal.

Hungarian mushroom soup

Recipe by: HAMM

Reviews(2)

My family loves soup and this is one of their favourites. It has lots of flavour and is fairly quick to make. It's primarily a mushroom soup but derives a lot of its flavour from other ingredients.

Julia's Easy Surprise Cake

Recipe by: yoolka

Be the first to review it!

I found a similar recipe on the Polish internet around 5 years ago and I changed it and tweaked it a lot since then. I think I made it at least 20 times. It's very sweet, full of different surprises (seeds, nuts etc.) and everybody loves it. It's also quite filling so it might even last for 3 days - that's if there are no children around! There is a lot of writing but the cake is very quick to make.

Julia's pickle soup

Recipe by: yoolka

Be the first to review it!

I know what you think - can't possibly be edible. Believe me - it is beautiful. This is a Polish dish, a soup made of sour cucumbers, or pickles. You can buy a jar of them thinly sliced in Polish shops but if there is none in your area you can just slice pickles. I usually just make the soup from the vegetables and that's it but you can throw a chicken stock cube in as well to make it more tasty if you want.

Musaka

Recipe by: Lisa

Be the first to review it!

I learned this from my Bulgarian mother in law though it's probably Turkish in origin. The recipe calls for 'chubritsa', a Bulgarian herb that can be difficult to find, so basil can be substituted in its place.

Pierogi

Recipe by: TAB

These Polish dumplings feature traditional potato and sauerkraut fillings; they're a perfect way to use leftover mash. Hearty winter fare!

Potato Latkes

Blinis are small light pancakes, originally from Russia. The version here is made with wholemeal flour, and the blinis are topped with soured cream, pickled herring, smoked salmon and lumpfish roe. A very special starter.

These are pierogis filled with cottage cheese, boiled and usually eaten with a sour cream sauce and crispy bacon. This is an old family recipe, from relatives who were Russian Poles.
