Natilla is a custard dessert that has a very mild flavor and light texture, and it requires only 6 ingredients to make. In Spain, you can buy this dessert at almost every store.

About 20 years ago, my grandmother used to take me to eat Lithuanian type of schnitzels at the canteen called “Eglė“ in Prienai (my hometown).

Coffee Cake Squares / Kavos pyrago kvadratėliai
At the first glance, this cake might look very simple. But all the goodness lies in simplicity… This is one of those cakes that after eating a first piece of cake your hand itself is reaching for the second, third piece, until only the crumbs remain. The only thing you’ll need with this pie is…
Avocado and Tomatillo Salsa Verde / Žaliasis avokado ir dumplūnių padažas
Tomatillo is a particularly popular vegetable in Latin American cuisine. Most of Lithuanians might have heard something about tomatillo (and I have no doubt that even seen one), but in Lithuanian cuisine tomatillo is used very very rarely. In US green tomatillos can be found in most of the supermarkets or Latin American stores. I…

We all know, how spending time in the kitchen is not the favorite thing to do during summer, especially when it’s really hot outside. I am also one of those people, but I can’t eat just a leaf of lettuce and berries all summer long, I’m quickly getting bored of them, so when I want…

Lazy Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls / Tinginių balandėliai keptuvėje
Lithuanian cuisine is hardly imaginable without zeppelins (a.k.a potato dumplings) as well as without stuffed cabbage rolls (in Lithuanian they are called balandėliai (little pigeons)).
