Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Chicken & orzo (Gershla so pileshko meso)

    • lkgrover on June 25, 2024

      Excellent chicken & pasta dinner; has a rich savory flavor.

    • stepharama1 on September 26, 2025

      I made this with ingredients on hand - skin-on bone-in chicken thighs and rose wine. I also didn't have nutmeg so I used garam masala. This had an elegant, rich flavor that belied the relative simplicity of the ingredients.

  • Fried smelts (Przheni tsironi)

    • lkgrover on September 12, 2024

      Delicious. The smelts are delicate, with a light paprika flavor.

  • Cabbage rolls (Sarmi od zelka)

    • Crisrose on September 18, 2025

      I made this tonight with regular minced beef and some chopped pepperoni, and home made tomato paste. Working with the cabbage is a little bit fiddly, but not too difficult. The finished dish looks good and is very tasty. For me, this dish holds many memories.

  • Baked fish & potatoes (Pechena riba so kompiri)

    • lkgrover on July 24, 2024

      Delicious fish casserole; a good example of classic comfort food.
