National Pierogi Day is October 8th, and these tasty, filled dumplings of Central & Eastern European origin are something our family traditionally makes, and these Cottage Cheese Perogies are my favorite. Pierogi can be filled with a number of delicious fillings. Savory or sweet, such as cheese & potatoes, cottage cheese, sauerkraut, plums, sour cherries or berries. Fillings can be made well in advance & refrigerated. How...

We are sharing with you our Top 50 Cooking Shows of the Past 10 Years! Yup! Can you believe we have been on YouTube for 10 years?! How the time flies.

Pierogi Dough is a necessity when making these Central & Eastern European filled tidbits. There are many varied recipes for pierogi, pyrohy or varenyky dough, as varied as the spellings for perogies. Making perogies is a food-of-love thing, as they can be time intensive and a bit fiddly, but they are worth it. Show your family the love you put into these. My Mom’s recipe for this dough is quite simple and can be used for...

Sauerkraut is fantastic, but even more awesome when you make it yourself at home. Sauerkraut has a history of being of a healthful quality, as cabbage is jam packed with good stuff for your body, and is a dish that one you acquire a taste for it, you enjoy eating it frequently. Perfect alongside pork chops, sausages, spare ribs or frankfurters. Also, we enjoy our perogies with fried sauerkraut filling. Mmm… How to Make...

How to Cook Caramelized Onions

Posted By on Jan 2, 2011 in Fruit & Vegetables, How To Cook, Onions, Vegetarian | 0 comments

Caramelizing onions is a skill that’s so very important in the kitchen and in various cuisines. Almost anytime I cook Ukrainian, German or Italian food, I am most definitely either sautéing or caramelizing onions. In order to caramelize onions, they must brown further than simply sautéing them (on low and slowly in the pan). Tonight we are pan frying up some cheese & potato perogies, and some sauerkraut perogies (or pyrohy)....
