Pierogies

Submitted by: gclark 
This is Great-grandmother's old recipe for real pierogies, those tender little pillows of sour cream dough stuffed with mashed potatoes, fried in butter, and served with fried onions. You can make them ahead and freeze them after boiling, then fry them up on the big day.

This spice rubbed duck is turned often during roasting to ensure that it is crispy on the outside and meltingly tender on the inside.

My father and grandparents were born in Czechoslovakia. I use to watch my grandmother make these small pastries at Christmas time and I couldn't wait to eat them when she was all done. I do hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as I do. You will need a large area to work. 

Choereg (Armenian Easter Bread)

Submitted by: Ani

Ok...so my mother would just kill me if she knew I made our family recipe for Choereg public. But my policy is 'why keep a good thing to myself'. Choereg is a traditional, slightly sweet bread, especially made for Easter. It is delicious for breakfast with a nice cup of coffee. It takes some level of skill, but anyone used to handling yeast should not have a problem. You can find Mahleb at Middle Eastern grocery stores, especially around Easter. It will be with the spices. Please do not omit it, as this is what gives it its distinctive flavour and aroma. 

Traditional Russian Pirozhki

Small pockets of dough are filled with cabbage and hard-cooked egg before baking. I'm Russian, and this recipe has been handed down from my grandma. They taste delicious, and are a great comfort food (or any other food).
