SALAD: Layered salad with fried mushrooms
|
|
|
In Belarus, layered salads with mushrooms are often called “пуховые салаты” — “fluffy salads” — because each layer is gently pressed to stay airy, not dense, giving the dish its signature soft, cloud‑like texture.

MAIN COURSE: Grilled Portobello with Feta, Mozzarella, Ricotta & Bacon
|
|
|
Grilled portobello mushrooms are often called a “vegetarian steak” for their rich texture, but this version takes them further—filling the caps with a creamy blend of cheeses and finishing with crispy bacon for a perfect balance of smoky, savory, and indulgent flavors.

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.
