Herring with Carrots, Raisins and Onion / Silkė su morkomis, razinomis ir svogūnais
Herring with carrots and raisins is a real Christmas Eve (Kūčios) dish for me. As far as I remember, at least one herring dish was with carrots and raisins (or sometimes also with nuts) during every Christmas Eve dinner. I’m not sure if this herring dish become a traditional one just amongst my family and…
Cranberry Kissel / Spanguolių kisielius
I don’t know if anyone in Lithuania can even imagine Christmas Eve (Kūčios) or Christmas without kissel. This is simply IMPOSSIBLE. Christmas Eve (Kūčios) without kissel, it’s the same as Christmas Eve (Kūčios) without Kūčiukai (Lithuanian Christmas Eve cookies) or herring – for any Lithuanian such thing would be terrible even to think about it…
Creamy Pumpkin Soup / Trinta moliūgo sriuba

Spanish Potato and Tuna Salad (Ensalada Rusa) / Ispaniška bulvių ir tuno mišrainė (Ensalada Rusa)
While living in Spain, I tried various types of “Ensada Rusa“. Some were similar to the popular Lithuanian white salad, other “Ensada Rusa“ salads were simpler, similar to my recipe. But wherever in Spain you eat this salad, the main ingredients will always be potatoes, carrots, tuna, eggs and mayonnaise. Well, all the other ingredients…

Cranberry sauce is necessary for all meat lovers (without exceptions!). Especially during holiday season, when we roast chicken, ham, turkey, and so on.

Herring with Tomato Sauce / Silkės užkandėlė su pomidorų padažu
It’s been a while since I’ve made something from herring. Well, there isn’t much cooking using herring, you just need to prepare a sauce or some relish and slice herring fillet. But this time I wanted to prepare herring somewhat differently, not as usually. So if you decide to try my recipe – have patience…
Chocolate Mousse / Šokoladiniai putėsiai
Chocolate mousse is a dessert that’s literally melting in your mouth. Very chocolatey, wonderful, mild taste.

To prepare…
