Anna's Amazing Goulash

Recipe by: Anna

Be the first to review it!

I made this up one day. It takes a lot of work, but makes a lot of stew, and the leftovers just taste better and better each time you try it.

Babovka (Poppy seed tea rings)

Recipe by: Carol Ponec-Nemec

Be the first to review it!

A Czech specialty that is delicious and easy to make. If desired, you can ice or glaze these and top with flaked almonds or other nuts. You can use apricot filling instead of the poppyseed filling. Also, if you don't have the round tins, you can bake the rings on regular baking trays (just be sure to place the seams of the rings are well sealed and placed downward on the trays).

Chocolate Babka

Recipe by: Nina

Reviews(3)

This recipe is the next best thing to a bakery babka! Although babkas are traditionally yeast-risen breads, this one is more similar to a sweet quick bread or cake.

Flourless Hazelnut Layer Cake

Recipe by: LAURANERIC

Be the first to review it!

This cake was traditionally a birthday cake in my friend's home. Her mother is from Hungary and only has this recipe in her head! Now it will be preserved . . . Note: hazelnuts may be toasted or un-toasted. The skins may be removed or left on.

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.

Kolaches

Recipe by: Michelle Beard

Reviews(5)

This is a basic recipe for the traditional Czech pastry. They can be made with a variety of fillings, but this one uses your favourite jam. My preference is for a good quality apricot preserve.

Liver Sausage Spread

If you love liver sausage (Braunschweiger) you'll love this recipe. My mother used to make this for every family get together and it was always a hit. It is best served with rye bread.

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!

Romanian Apple Cake

Recipe by: Mona

Be the first to review it!

This is a wonderfully simple, yet delicious cake! It is so moist and fresh, it will surely be a favourite with your family, just like it is with mine! The main length of the preparation time is cutting and peeling the apples. A mixture of apples works great, although I usually use Golden Delicious.

I have many rugelach recipes, but this is truly the best I have ever made.

This cake is very light, tender and tasty. It's fun to make and fun to eat. Two layers of soured cream poppy seed cake, with a luscious lemon filling. Ice with a buttercream icing if desired.

An adaption of the ancient preserving technique. Spicy, sweet, sour onions.

This naturally sweet rugelach needs no artificial ingredients. It's a delectable cream cheese pastry filled with sultanas, nuts and cinnamon.

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.
