What are you been cooking today

[ThermomixBlogger]

Okay, I'm going to be very quick here... rushing out the door taking my elderly mother to the dentist but just HAD to chime in about this subject!!!

I've made a LOT of perogies! In the past year, I've made several hundred... trying to get the recipe blogged but something always gets in the way... Here in Canada we love perogies!!! I could tell you all about them, and I will. I promise, my perogies recipe is coming soon!



Basically. They are a dumpling, yes. Equivalent of the wonton or whatever. Most cultures have a version and this is the Ukranian/Polish dumpling. Boiled, and then fried... or just boiled. One reason I haven't posted the recipe yet is because I was trying to find an old (paper) photograph of our grandmother teaching my kids in the kitchen. I can't locate that photo so may just have to blog the recipe without it.

Here though is a quick pic. The filing in these was spinach (or kale?) and cheese. Perogies are sinfully good and traditionally served with fried onions... often ham. A little sour cream too, though I use yogurt instead. I love peas, as you can see ;-) and in this photo there is a mushroom sauce. They are laborious to make, often made by large groups of women gathered together to make the work lighter. Thermomix cuts the work in half, but it's still a job!

Sorry for this rushed reply, but could help myself and just had to join in ;-)

Looks delicious Helene, look forward to your recipe. 

I made some sugar buns today, (based on the EDC hot cross buns recipe with minor changes).  Thought they turned out pretty well.

They look so good Julie, would love one for afternoon tea.

Helene they look exactly the same as Mother in Law used to make. Boiled and then fried. She called them Vareniki. She is Ukrainian. She used to put mashed potato and cheese in some and then sauerkraut in others. So lovely. Mine never taste as good.

SIL used to make piroshki and she used a bread dough for them, whereas the Vareniki have a dough more like pasta. Lots of different versions and names.

Another hot, hot, hot day in Perth. Made Lychee sorbet for the boys 😋

[achookwoman]

Looks like bun season.  Made 24 and baked in AF in batches of 6.

Lychee sorbet, buns galore and they all look delicious. BZB did you use fresh or canned lychees? My guess is fresh as they are round at the moment.
No cooking here today apart from dinner.

Nice looking buns everyone.

[BeezeeBee]

Chookie, the buns look scrumptious!

Cookie, I used canned ones. Spur of the moment thing

[judydawn]

Nice hot x buns Chookie, are they in muffin sized cases?

I see you've finally listed your other blog for non-TMX recipes in your signature line.  Will pop over and have a look later.

Just had breakfast but could polish off one of your Sugar Buns Julie or Chookie's Hot X bun quite easily as they look delicious girls

Great plate of food Helene.I look forward to your recipe.

Too cold here for sorbet BZB but it does look very refreshing
