If you have seen at least one Turkish TV show, you may have noticed that Turkish food is very important in any TV show and it is often highlighted. Drinking tea from cute little glass cups, a wide variety of cheese, olives, and, of course, it never comes without Turkish baked goods. I’ll admit, I…

Shrimp Pasta in Tomato Cream Sauce / Makaronai su krevetėmis ir kreminiu grietinėlės-pomidorų padažu
I never say no to a plate of delicious pasta. I like pasta prepared in any way – with tomato sauce, with simply olive oil or creamy sauces. How do I decide to make my pasta depends on my mood. This time I wanted to have a creamy, delicious, yummy pink sauce with my pasta….
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…
Majorcan Cabbage Soup (Sopa Mallorquina) / Malijorkietiška kopūstų sriuba (Sopa Mallorquina)
Well, how many of you buy a cabbage and a poor vegetable stays in a fridge for a day, two, or maybe a week..? It happens to me sometimes. And it just so hard sometimes to make up what to do with it. I was thinking to make cabbage rolls, but they take so long…
Spanish Potato Salad with Tuna (Patatas Aliñadas) / Ispaniškos bulvių salotos su tunu (Patatas Aliñadas)
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…
Napa Cabbage, Carrot and Apple Salad / Kininio kopūsto salotos su morka ir obuoliu
This salad is light, fast and very summer-like. When the sun is shining outside, the weather is perfect and you really don’t want to stay long time in the kitchen, the salad is always a great option not only as a light meal, but it can be a quick side dish with grill or other…
Spanish-Style Cod (Bacalao a la Riojana) / Troškinta menkė ispaniškai (Bacalao a la Riojana)
How often do you make fish for dinner or lunch?? 🙂 I try to make fish dishes at least once a week, whether it is roasted salmon, or cod, or just pasta with shrimps. After all, you can’t be alive just eating meat and vegetable dishes, from time to time almost everyone wants to have…
Mexican Salsa Ranchera / Meksikietiškas pomidorų padažas „Salsa Ranchera“
I absolutely love homemade sauces and salsas. No matter what kind of sauce or salsa it is, any made at home just can’t be compared to any bought from the store. These are just two incomparable things. If I make tacos, enchiladas or other similar Mexican dishes, I always try to prepare at least a…
Vegetarian Spanish Rice (Arroz Viudo) / Vegetariškas ryžių troškinys ispaniškai (Arroz Viudo)
For a day without meat – vegetarian Spanish rice. Very simple to make, doesn’t need much effort and time. That’s why I am so fascinated by Spanish dishes, because preparation doesn’t take a lot of time (well, unless you are making paella, then it takes a little longer..), and for most dishes you need just a…
Sopa Azteca – Mexican Tortilla Soup / Sopa Azteca – meksikietiška tortilijų sriuba
Sopa Azteca is a very interesting, extremely delicious and very easy to prepare soup. I’m often looking for new soup ideas because I’ve been eating soups since childhood, so this habit didn’t disappear even now. Whatever kind of Latin American restaurant you visit in the US, you will always find at least a couple types…
Traditional Dressed Herring / Tradicinė silkė pataluose
As with most Lithuanians, dressed herring is a very common dish not only on Easter, but also on other major holidays. It’s almost a tradition. This dish looks always very nice on the table, and it can be both – a side dish and salad. Dressed herring can be served not only in this way as…
