STARTER:    Cabbage and Egg Pie

This cabbage and egg pie is a classic of Slavic home cooking — the kind of cozy, familiar dish that generations have baked for family gatherings and everyday comfort. Soft yeast dough, gently braised cabbage, and simple ingredients come together to create a warm, nostalgic pie that feels like it’s straight from a traditional home kitchen.

SOUP:    Minestrone Soup

Minestrone is a classic Italian vegetable soup that changes with the seasons—there’s no single “correct” version. Made with simple vegetables, beans, and pasta, it’s a comforting, nourishing dish that has been cooked in Italian homes for centuries using whatever was on hand.

MAIN COURSE:    Meat Patties

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

DESSERT:    Pumpkin Doughnuts

Pumpkin donuts combine warm spices, rich pumpkin puree, and a soft cake-like texture that feels like autumn in every bite. They’re a modern twist on old-world fried dough traditions, and their cozy flavor profile—cinnamon, nutmeg, clove—has roots in centuries of festive baking.
