Whoever loves deviled eggs, please, raise your hands! I like deviled eggs with mushrooms, meat, fish, cheese and so on. To be honest, whatever deviled eggs are on the table, my attention always goes towards them and I have to try them, that’s for sure. It’s a necessity! Of course, as Easter approaches, we all…

Salad with Sprats / Mišrainė su šprotais
I think sprat is often devalued as a fish. Everyone worships anchovies, puts them on salads, pizzas, etc. But it’s also very easy to make a quick sandwich, salad or any other snack with sprats. By the way, pizza with sprats is super tasty (if you haven’t tried one, I highly recommend to do it)….
Farmer Cheese and Apple Cake / Varškės ir obuolių pyragas
Very soft, light and amazing taste cake will delight all cake lovers. It’s a great combination when it’s hard to pick what to bake – farmer cheese or apple cake. I found a way to make the choice easier – just bake the two cakes in one! And believe me, the cake base, filling and…
Traditional Lithuanian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls / Tradiciniai balandėliai
If you translate Lithuanian word “balandėliai“ to English, you get simply pigeons. But it has another meaning too. It can be translated as two people in love, that share their love in a very gentle, loving way. “Balandėliai“ can also be translated as lovebirds. So, I guess now it makes more sense why I’m posting…
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…
Apple Cake with Sweet Yogurt / Obuolių pyragas su saldžiu jogurtu

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…
Easy Beetroot, Potato and Bean Salad / Burokėlių, bulvių ir pupelių mišrainė
I could hardly imagine at least one Christmas Eve or Christmas dinner without this salad. It’s just essential salad on Lithuanian festive table. If I think about an appearance of a festive table in Lithuania, I always have an image like this in my head – plates with a variety of meats, a couple fish…

Dinner in 30 Minutes! / Vakarienė per 30 minučių!
Okay, I’ll make a confession – I don’t always go to the kitchen with a smile on my face and with a great joy. Sometimes you just need to make lunch, and sometimes after work you’re really tired, but the belly is calling for dinner. In this case, you don’t want to stand in the…
