Fish Babka

"This Ukrainian fish loaf is lightened with egg whites, giving it a souffle like texture. It is much more stable, however, and can be turned out to serve. Good served with sauteed thin strips of zucchini and carrots."

I am a clothing designer that loves to cook. I run a business and a home and have little time to enjoy cooking so I do a lot of bulk cooking and take full advantage of my freezer when I do.
