A modern take on the same cod liver salad that was a staple at every Soviet feast. Instead of turning the liver and egg into a monolithic grey mass, we fluffed it up with a pile of green leaves. Classic vinaigrette dressing, olives, green beans, tomatoes and finely chopped sprats, merging into a common chorus of ingredients, give the salad Mediterranean notes, bringing to mind Nicoise.

Dumplings with potatoes and mushrooms are almost the most important dish of home cooking. We like that dumplings can be made with a variety of fillings. At the same time, some people like the filling in the potato dumplings themselves in the form of mashed potatoes , while others like the remains of a hard potato texture. The editors of "Food" are inclined to think that you can simply change the density of the minced meat from time to time, respecting both variations of tactile sensations. And you can also diversify the taste of potato dumplings by adding fried bacon or so-called cracklings.
