Vera is a friend of mine who is an excellent cook and a wonderful baker. I love all her recipes, and she shares them with anyone interested in trying them out.
Today, I will share her recipe for Blueberry Muffins, which are simple to make, require a few basic ingredients, and are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. She suggests mixing in anything you wish (fruits, berries, nuts, chocolate chips) and tweaking the recipe to your preference.
This recipe is a very old favorite of mine. It reminds me of my grandmother’s cooking days and my Sunday visits to her with my mom.
I love these fluffy dumplings because they are so light in texture, and so delicious served with melted butter and sugar.
This recipe dates back to my great-grandmother, who was of German descent, and most likely to her mother and grandmother, which would date back to the 1700s.
I love honey cake, but especially around the holidays. There is something very soothing about having hot herbal tea with a piece of honey cake on a cold winter day, which is perfect around Christmas.
If you love Tortes but have been looking for a lighter filling, rather than the traditional buttercream, this is a great recipe for you. The cake layers are fragile, filling mostly apples, with a nice caramel glaze.
Ukrainians pride themselves on baking the best tortes, and Walnut Torte is one of the most traditional
Torte preparation requires time and patience, but as with any other recipe made from scratch, it is a labor of love and well worth the effort.
