One word: Stroganoff!!! THE BEST I have EVER made in my entire life. And thank God my Russian Granny is dead because this recipe is better than hers! She used red wine and this one calls for white...and that made a huge difference. And using a Walla Walla Sweet onion instead of purple onion makes the beef really tastey.
The deserts are surprisingly easy to make too. I grew up on poppyseed tea cookies and this recipe is pretty good. I suggest always freezing the dough overnight though and cutting it when it is just barely thawed enough to slice.
Borshk (that is how my family spells it, so forgive me if it is wrong.) My granny and my mom always made this with carmelized onions and bacon with onions and then put in a bunch of red and purple cabbage and dark brown sugar. I remember I ate bowl after bowl as a kid and never got tired of it. The recipe here is different, but equally fantastic--and it is good to loose weight, too! Even if you add bacon to it!
I think this is out of print, and I was lucky to get one of the last copies in hard back at a used book store in Bend, Oregon.
