STARTER:    Skillet Fish Pie

This pie is one of those rare recipes that tastes like it came from the oven while being cooked entirely on the stovetop. It is an excellent choice for hot summer days, camping with a gas burner, vacation rentals, or any time you want a homemade meal without heating the entire kitchen. I also like that the batter is neutral enough to work with almost any savory filling, making it a recipe you'll come back to again and again.

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.

   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.

   Red Cabbage Salad (Warmer Rotkohlsalat)

   Warm red cabbage salad is a German classic that turns simple winter vegetables into something deeply aromatic. Traditionally, red cabbage was cooked with apple and vinegar not just for flavor, but because the acidity helps preserve its vibrant purple color — a small kitchen trick German cooks have used for centuries.
