NikitaThis is Zephyr - a gourmet, fruity marshmallow dessert. The recipe below will call for blackberries, but I used raspberries instead. They have an explosion of flavor and so easy to make IF you have the appropriate tools. I say this because I've never felt the absence of a stand mixer in my kitchen until now. My handy-dandy electric mixer has worked with me throughout the years and helped me to accomplish some incredibly yummy foods. But, one of my beaters completely tore apart, so I was left with only one beater. It can be difficult to whip up egg whites into a meringue with one beater. Also, there are parts to this recipes that need to be done while you are whipping the eggs white. If you google search Zefir, the delicacies look like cute, piped roses covered in powdered sugar. I couldn't achieve the stiff peaks, so mine are not as pretty. These would be adorable at a baby shower or wedding if you can get the piping right. Zazdarovje! GeorgiaSo.. I've never made Russian food before. I'm guessing unless you are Russian most haven't. Needless to say I had to whip out ole Mrs. Pinterset (Yes she is a Mrs.). Pinterest has a great many Russian recipes, however when Russian meatballs popped up I knew I need look no further because in this house we never really need a good excuse to make them. I followed the recipe exactly as it was suggested with one exception. I coated mine in flour before browning. It makes for a crispy exterior. The meatballs were spot on.. The sauce was delish, however we both felt it was missing a little something. Like Vodka.. JenI attempted to talk with a Russian accent while making pirozhki this week, which made for a comical experience. My daughter and her friend said I was wavering between sounding Italian and then like Dracula. :) The two different fillings in this recipe were both quite good. The rolls, not so much. I substituted ground turkey for beef (cheaper, healthier), and for the veggie version, white beans instead of mushrooms (because my husband hates mushrooms). AmyPerestroika and all that. Russian cuisine in the middle of a heat wave....riiiiiiighhhttt... I googled Russian Summer recipes and this cold soup kept popping up and I had all of the ingredients on hand (Yep even the mineral water.) Healthy and refreshing. It didn't require an oven. Two things, don't be shy with the seasoning and eat it asap. So it's called Okroshka. As I said there's quite a few sites on the world wide web that have this recipe. I went with this one Schastlivaya yeda! That without experimentation, a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, moribund.” ― from “Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook” My prayers go out to those who are left behind to pick up all the broken pieces.
