Corn dogs are one of America's most iconic fairground foods. The combination of a juicy hot dog wrapped in a crisp, golden cornmeal batter became popular at state fairs and amusement parks during the mid-20th century. This version uses kefir, which gives the batter a slight tang and helps create a light, tender coating.

You can customize this soup any way you like. For example, remove the peas and add celery, or even add only celery instead of peas and corn...

You can use any meat for these patties. I prefer a mixture of beef, pork and veal in a 1:1:1 ratio.

Tiramisu means “pick me up” in Italian, referring to its energizing combination of coffee and cocoa. It is a relatively modern classic, believed to have been created in the 1960s in Treviso. Despite its simplicity, it became one of the most famous Italian desserts worldwide thanks to its rich yet airy texture and no-bake preparation.
