STARTER:    Fried Meat Pies

These Belarusian fried pirozhki are a true family treasure. In our home, Mom always made a huge batch, because once they hit the table, it was almost impossible to stop eating them. Dad used to say they were so delicious that you’d reach for “just one more” again and again. They weren’t an everyday meal — making them takes time, patience, and care — but Mom made them often enough for the smell of frying dough and savory meat to become one of the most comforting memories of our kitchen.

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.
