"A great way to use left over potatoes. Every Christmas Eve we had perogies. They do go fast so we'd fight over them. The fillings are unlimited. Cabbage, Cheese, Fruit, mushrooms, sauerkraut or check out my Pierogi - Peanut Butter and Jelly Pierogi's [peer-Oh-Gee]
FYI: add a touch of herbs to one dough and paprika, curry, cinnamon to another when making a couple different fillings..."

"These Russian Fried Cheese Pancakes (Patties), prounounced SEER-ni-kee, are delicious served hot out of the pan, the outsides still crispy, the insides creamy... They are very easy, and the dough can be made ahead. Sirniki are usually served as a brunch or breakfast dish, or as a dessert, with sour cream or jam. Some like both!"

"One of my favorite restaurants in Seattle was Kaleenka's on First Avenue. I loved their borshch and piroshky, and I always felt warm and comfortable in the restaurant. Kaleenka's has unfortunately closed, but I did find their recipe for piroshky in "Dining Ethnic Around Puget Sound" which was published in 1993. Kaleenka featured good..."

"A wonderful Russian lemony-herby sauce served over hot boiled potatoes and served with grilled or sauteed smoked sausage. I got it from the woman in charge of the Piroshky "wagon" at the annual Seattle Folk Life Festival three years ago. Predominant flavors are lemon and dill.
This is a work in progress and I welcome suggestions!"

"Have no fear - there's really nothing fishy about this recipe. I got it from my Russian Culture teacher after a food-sharing day. It's a wonderful and intriguing appetizer, great with small squares of dark bread. The small amount of garlic remains raw to give it a subtle bite. I substitute the mayo for a store-bought vegan version, but any..."
