Cake “Friendship“ / Pyragas „Draugystė“
I have no idea about the origin of this cake, but everyone in Lithuania knows it. In fact, this cake is not even very special, but it always reminds me of those traditional “tea“ type of cakes from my childhood. If my mom didn’t bake something delicious at home, then she brought a “Friendship“ cake…
Cauliflower and Cheese Patties with Homemade Tomato Sauce / Kalafioro ir varškės sūrio kotletai su naminiu pomidorų padažu
Cauliflower and cheese patties not only look very pretty, but they also almost surpass the usual meat patties. The specific reason why these cauliflower patties are so different from others is because of a special egg and flour mixture, which coats them and gives that extra fluffiness and softness. Preparing a dish from cauliflower always…

Farmer Cheese and Peach Pie / Varškės ir persikų pyragas
A great pie to end summer and start autumn. Slightly creamy, slightly fruity and with a soft base. You can easily modify the pie using just farmer’s cheese instead of ricotta and vice versa. Instead of fresh peaches, nectarines can be used as well and preserved peaches would work great too, just make sure to…
Potato, Farmer’s Cheese and Sausage Pancakes / Bulviniai blynai su varške ir dešrelėmis
This is an improved potato pancakes recipe, which serves very well when you want a delicious and more interesting dinner or lunch. Pancakes, of course, are the most delicious when served with sour cream, but Greek yoghurt or fresh yoghurt dressing with cucumbers would fit great too. I grated potatoes using two types of graters…
Kuršėnai Sweet Roll Cake / Kuršėnų vyniotinis
Somewhere in the internet I accidentally saw a picture of this cake roll and immediately decided that it’s just necessary to make it at home. I’ve eaten Kuršėnai sweet roll cake such a long time ago, so I don’t even remember when it was… Maybe 2-3 years ago. But it’s never too late to remember…

I was getting ready to prepare these fried pastries (žagarėliai) for a while and finally found some time to make them (and again, the autumn is guilty for this craving!). Only this time I made fried pastries from farmer cheese, so they were almost like farmer cheese donuts, but in a different form. To be…
