As it is Autumn I decided to start my new Eastern European cookery project. It seems appropriate for the newly cold weather. I am using the Mamushka book by the brilliantly named Olia Hercules. This concentrates on Ukranian food with forays into Russia, Armenia, Georgia, Ossetia, Azerbaijan, Bessarabia, Tartar and Moldova so maybe this is more FSU.
My first recipe was the classic chicken soup with dumplings. You make a basic chicken stock with chicken pieces, onion, carrot and bay. After an hour of simmering, remove the bones and shred the chicken into it, add spring onion, dill and carrot slices and then boil the plain dumplings in it. Great for a cold night.
Next up the classic borscht...
