This Spice Cookies recipe is one of my favourite recipes I remember baking from my childhood. This delicious cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger recipe has similar flavors to Speculaas cookies, but aren’t a shortbread and more chewier. Without molasses, they are easier to make with fewer ingredients, but more spice flavor! As a kid, there are…

Sharlotka Apple Cake
There are many variations of Sharlotka Apple Cake out there. It’s a basic apple cake made with simple ingredients. Some recipes only contain only 4 ingredients! This is not like my American Apple Pie, which is worth checking out, but it’s definitely a cake. This is my wife Rita’s Sharlotka recipe, and I’m grateful she shared the recipe…
Beetroot Tarte Tatin
I love making Tarte Tatin, especially as a tasty autumn meal. There are now many different variations that exist from that classic French recipe. This recipe is dominated by beets, and by now, you know how much I love beets. From making Borscht Beet Soup to Gravlax Salmon with Beets, I think all Russians love…
KFC Coleslaw Dressing
I love a tasty coleslaw, but it’s the Coleslaw Dressing that makes or breaks the salad. The rest of the recipe is basically cabbage, so you’ve got to get the dressing right! The coleslaw dressing you buy in the supermarket isn’t very tasty, and it’s expensive for what it is. It’s so easy to make…

Moving to Australia from Canada caused many food culture shocks, introducing amazing new foods, and causing me to miss favorites, like Lemon Iced Tea. I’d like to say that I only drank home-made, organic lemon,…
Bread Maker Pizza Dough
It’s so easy to make a pizza at home from scratch, especially if you have a bread maker with a dough cycle, and an easy bread maker pizza dough recipe. I love making a homemade Caramelised Onion, Mushroom and Bacon Pizza from scratch because it taste so much better. While calling Dominos is a convenient…
Banana Berry Kissel
Kissel has been a popular Eastern European desert for hundreds of years. Some of my earliest childhood memories involve eating sweet warm kissel. There are many variations of kissel, now including my Banana Berry Kissel Recipe (кисель). Some people strain the fruit in kissel so it’s like a thickened juice, others make with cranberries, blueberries, cherries…
Cheesy Pull Apart Bread
I love garlic bread, I love cheese, I love herbs, this Cheese Stuffed Pull Apart Bread is a marriage made in heaven! There is something comforting about eating bread and gooey melted cheese. The ingredients just sound healthy, but are full of calories! Fresh sourdough bread, fresh garlic, fresh herbs, but then it’s drenched in calorie-laden…
