Each and every recipe has a story behind it. I'm collecting family recipes that are full love and warm memories. Do you have one?
Cottage Cheese Casserole with Apples and Cashew
Cottage Cheese Casserole is one of the most famous casseroles in Russia. Even though that recipe is far from the classic, it's my favorite - cashew and marinated apples give it a nice texture, ginger provides spiciness, and lemon with vanilla adds an amazing flavor.
Double Chocolate Muffins
I can’t speak for you, but I'm crazy about brownies, although sometimes I want something lighter, but no less chocolate. This is how this chocolate muffin recipe was created.
Russian Easter Cake (Kulich)
Every year I cook sweet, tasty, fragrant Easter cakes - they are real grandmother's Easter yeast cakes with raisin. I'm sure you'll like it!
Honey Cake
Medovik is a classic Russian honey cake made with layers upon layers of honey choux pastry and whipped sour cream. As much as my husband loves a medovik I hate making choux pastry for it. That’s why I cook a fake medovik - my husband is happy, and I continue to cook a yummy honey cake with flaky shortcrust pastry layers and creamy honey frosting.

Raisin Scones
These scones are not too sweet, not too dry, not too crumbly, not too wet - the perfect dessert for a tea party! If you have never cooked them, try it, this is one of the simplest recipes, and the result won’t leave anyone indifferent.
Apple Pancakes (Russian edition)
These pancakes are always fluffy, tender, and not too sweet, and apples add juiciness and sourness. You can eat them with sour cream, jam, condensed milk, and, of course, honey. And if you decide to replace apples, then take any berries or fruits, preferably fresh, so that the juice from the frozen ones doesn’t dilute the dough.
Blueberry mozzarella salad
One of the silkiest in taste salad I've ever tried. Blueberries not only add a dimension of flavor but also add unexpected color to this salad recipe. The lemon dressing gives this fresh yummy salad an extra kick!
Raspberry avocado salad
Light and colorful salad with raspberries, avocado, and soft cheese finished with refreshing orange dressing. You'll fall in love with its bright and original taste!
Lamingtons
I bet you've never tasted real Australian desserts? It’s time to fix it and try Lamingtons! :) Lamington is a dessert familiar to all Australians from childhood, it is prepared for birthdays, meetings with friends, and, of course, Australia Day (26 January). Traditionally, the lamington is made from a classic sponge cake, but sometimes a butter sponge cake is also used. The pieces of sponge cake are dipped in chocolate icing and rolled in coconut so that you’ll get a cake that tastes like a bounty bar - delicious!
Pumpkin Cheesecake
A fragrant and delicate pumpkin cheesecake is the perfect autumn dessert! I am sure that this cheesecake will appeal even to those who are cool enough to pumpkin and can’t imagine it as a pastry at all.

This English Christmas cake is a rich, dense fruit cake made with dried fruits and nuts. Fruits are soaked in citrus juice and alcohol before baking. Once the baked cake is wrapped into baking paper and left to mature for at least a month. Once a week during this process the cake should be unwrapped and fed with more brandy. Yummy treat!
