Russian Mushroom and Potato Soup

Submitted by: DTERESA
I make this soup every Halloween and is the 'signal' to the family that the cool weather has arrived. I've been making it for 15 years now and out of all the soups I make, it is still everyone's favorite. Enjoy!

My father and grandparents were born in Czechoslovakia. I use to watch my grandmother make these small pastries at Christmas time and I couldn't wait to eat them when she was all done. I do hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as I do. You will need a large area to work.

Ukrainian Sandwiches

Submitted by: UKRAINIANCOOK
These open faced Ukrainian sandwiches are very easy to make and are really good. If you can find Eastern European style sausage then try it with that, otherwise use your favorite cold cuts. They are called 'Kanapki' in Ukrainian.

This dough is made rich by adding ice cream. It is made even quicker and easier by using a canned filling.

This beet salad works great as a side dish. It's garlicky, creamy, sweet, a little crunchy, and a little salty. Enjoy this authentic Russian recipe that everyone in my family always makes.

Choereg (Armenian Easter Bread)

Ok...so my mother would just kill me if she knew I made our family recipe for Choereg public. But my policy is 'why keep a good thing to myself'. Choereg is a traditional, slightly sweet bread, especially made for Easter. It is delicious for breakfast with a nice cup of coffee. It takes some level of skill, but anyone used to handling yeast should not have a problem. You can find Mahleb at Middle Eastern grocery stores, especially around Easter. It will be with the spices. Please do not omit it, as this is what gives it its distinctive flavour and aroma.

Cabbage is stuffed with rice, pork and vegetables in these classic cabbage rolls. This recipe is a very traditional Moldovan recipe. My mother and my grandmother used to cook it at almost every Moldovan holy day and sometimes on a casual day. I love it!

Traditional Russian Pirozhki

Submitted by: The Beatles Rock My Sox
Small pockets of dough are filled with cabbage and hard-cooked egg before baking. I'm Russian, and this recipe has been handed down from my grandma. They taste delicious, and are a great comfort food (or any other food). 

Nut Rolls

Submitted by: Bob
This is an old Slovak recipe. In Slovak it is called Roshky. The rolls are filled with lekvar, a thick, soft fruit spread. This is an all day project. This recipe will make 7 or 8 twelve inch loaves, or some dough may be reserved for lekvar squares. 

Hungarian Lecso II

Submitted by: Robyn Skodzinsky
A hearty vegetarian version of Lecso - as close to meat as you can get! Green peppers are stewed with tomatoes and eggs with paprika, then served over rye bread. 

Hunza Bread II

Submitted by: Holly
This simpler version of Hunza Bread is a sweet, rich white bread adorned with golden raisins.
